--chroot/-o=<rootdir>: Set <rootdir> as mp3blaster's root dir.
This affects *ALL* file operations in mp3blaster!!(including
playlist reading&writing!) Note that only users with uid 0
can use this option (yet?). This feature will change soon.
--playmode/-p={onegroup,allgroups,allrandom}
Default playing mode is resp. Play first group only, Play
all groups, Play all songs in random order.
--dont-quit/-q: Don't quit after playing mp3[s] (only makes sense
in combination with --autolist or files from command-line)
--repeat/-R: Repeat playlist.
--runframes/-r=<number>: Number of frames to decode in one loop.
Range: 1 to 10 (default=5). A low value means that the
interface (while playing) reacts faster but slow CPU's might
hick. A higher number implies a slow interface but less
hicks on slow CPU's.
--sound-device/-s=<device>: Device to use to output sound.
Default for your system is /dev/dsp.
If you want to use NAS (Network Audio System) as playback
device, then enter the nasserver's address as device (e.g.
host.name.com:0; it *must* contain a colon)
--threads/-t=<amount>: Numbers of threads to use for buffering
(only works if mp3blaster was compiled with threads). Range is
0..500 in increments of 50 only.
--version,v: Display version number.
