Product Description:

qtplay is a command line utility to play Audio CDs and music files.
  • Plays any audio file supported by Quicktime, including Audio CDs, AIFF, MIDI, and MP3.
  • Special flag for simply playing CDs, for lazy people.
  • Playlist features such as loop, shuffle, and random.
  • Special flag for reading playlist via standard input.
  • Support for playing files in a random order while keeping playlists (ie. symphonies) in tact.
  • Support for process signals: SIGINT, SIGTSTP, and SIGCONT.

What's new in this version:

  • Rewrote structure of code for better maintenance and easier feature integration.
  • Added ability to play internet URLs (as well as POSIX pathnames).
  • Added "kill time" flag for override double click time. (ie. control-C control-C)
  • Fixed inaccuracy of comparing timing of kill time to double click time.
  • Added "treat files as playlist" flag: contents of file(s) treated as if on command line.
  • Added ability to play text files ("playlists") as a non-random entity.
  • Added "Quicktime Only" and "Sound Manager Only" flags.
  • Added "one random file" flag. (idea thanks to Bryan Muir)
  • Added printing version number in verbose mode. Added version flag (--version).
  • Added "DJ Mode" flag (ie. speak filename).
  • Fixed error codes and print statements. Error messages uses stderr instead of stdout.
  • Fixed bug so flags parsed correctly.
  • Removed the 100% volume flag limitation.
  • Fixed bug where the text of the path/url didn't always exist.
  • Fixed bug where correctly differentiates the commands `qtplay` and `qtplay ""`.

The homepage for this utility says the release date was 2002-09-18. Can I assume that the homepage is in error (typo)?

one quibble with the previous posters - I have a 500MHz original TiBook, and iTunes uses about 15% when hidden. How in the world are you getting 50% CPU usage???
