Python Music On Console

Python Music On Console is a wrapper around the amazing console music player moc.

It can be used to play and enqueue files and playlists, control playback, get information about the currently played track, etc.

>>> moc.start_server()
>>> moc.quickplay(list_of_files)
>>> moc.get_info_dict() =>
{'album'       : 'Whoracle',
 'artist'      : 'In Flames',
 'songtitle'   : 'The Hive',
 'file'        : '.../In Flames/Whoracle/In Flames - The Hive.mp3',
 'timeleft'    : '03:53',
 'totaltime'   : '04:03', ...}

>>> moc.next()
>>> moc.pause()
>>> moc.resume()
>>> moc.is_playing()
>>> moc.toggle_shuffle()
>>> moc.enable_repeat()
>>> moc.increase_volume(10)
    ...
