NAME
       xmms-curses - Control XMMS from the command line with a friendly
       ncurses interface

SYNOPSIS
       xmms-curses [<-|*>ntlaVh] [ options ]

DESCRIPTION
       xmms-curses is a simple application for controlling XMMS from the
       command line.  It is designed to make common, simple tasks fast and
       easy to do. It is operated using arrow keys and standard XMMS keys, to
       make it easy and intuitive to learn.

OPTIONS
       To negate a short option, use '*' instead of '-' (e.g.  +a).
       Long-options are negated with no-, (e.g.  --no-read-all).

       -n, --numbers
              Show numbers in playlist (default on)

       -t, --title
              Read the title from ID3/ogg-tags (SLOW) (default on)

       -l, --length
              Show length of track in playlist (SLOW) (default on)

       -a, --read-all
              Read all titles and lengths on startup (EXTREMELY SLOW) (default
              off)

       -V, --version
              Display version information

FILES
       /etc/xmms-curses.conf
              Global configuration file.

       $HOME/.xmms-curses
              Local configuration file, specific for each user. Can be used to
              override the global options.

       The syntax of the configuration files are long options without the
       '--', one on each line.

       Example:
              numbers
              title
              length no-read-all

BUGS
       The xmms remote controlling library provides no good way of detecting
       changes in the playlist, and therefore xmms-curses might need to be
       told to reload the playlist if songs are moved. Do so by pressing L.
       If the length of the playlist changes, xmms-curses will assume the
       playlist has changed and reload the entire playlist to make sure it is
       correct.

       Probably lots more.
