Yes, sorry, mc is midnight commander, a file manager, amongst other things, & mpg123 is an mp3 music player.
I use this combination as you can select which files to play from the file manager screen, by marking them, using the 'insert' key on your keyboard, then playing them all by typing mpg123 %f in the box at the bottom of the mc screen.

You can use ogg123 to play ogg files.

(There are other possibilities using mc too, very versatile program.)

Thanks for that. I'm familiar with the mc file manager. But I have not used that feature. I look forward to trying that out.

Worth watching if you have 50 minutes to spare, although I used the slider to skip through a lot. It's cute how he mispronounces so many words - G-nome, "Adocious", Sayonara etc. Guayadeque made me chuckle.
Spends too much time on players that don't work properly for him, but good video to get an idea of which ones not to waste time trying!. Amarok is a QT4 application not updated for QT5 and has been dropped in Debian testing/sid. Not even worth including. And he missed out Cantata! It did remind me to check out Elisa again which has now made it to Debian unstable. :happy:
He also didn't get how to use Design Mode in DeadBeef which is one of its best features.
It's interesting how many of the players, particularly the more basic ones, are almost identical in functionality. I guess coding a music player must be a right-of-passage for neophyte developers.
Overall a pretty good overview but has basically shown me that I should stick with my current player choices:
Audacious
Cantata
DeadBeef
gmusicbrowser
MPV
QMMP
Strawberry

and for parties - Mixxx DJ player

If you already have mpd installed, give Ario a try. I prefer it for playing local music files, although Cantata is the better choice for streaming

For command line, mps-youtube is just incredibly fun to play around with. Need to be sure you have youtube-dl installed as well, it isn't handled as a dependency on MX, but mps-youtube won't work well without it.

I use VLC b/c it's one of the few apps that lets me play music and video streamed by the MINIdlna server hosted on my Libreelec with a bunch of USB disks attached.
I'm currently looking for the Linux equivalent of Tag&Rename that can run locally, but can "see" and edit files shared on SMB shares on my LE box

Search the stable repo for "tag" and you'll find several mp3 id3 tag editors. If you can access your music files in Thunar you should be able to do so in your tag editor too.
