Music on Console
Music on Console is free music software for Linux and Unix terminals. It provides library management for organizing a music collection and supports playlists within the terminal environment. Playback is gapless, so consecutive tracks can play without an intervening pause. Tag editing is not supported. The project is listed for Linux, with supported platforms described as Linux/Unix terminal. Its feature set therefore centers on terminal-based music use rather than graphical desktop operation. Users can manage a library, work with playlists, and listen through gapless playback. The software has a free plan, so no purchase is listed for access. Music on Console is available from the project website at moc.daper.net. The listed capabilities define its scope: library management, playlist support, and gapless playback are included, while editing music tags is absent. This makes the terminal platform and the presence or absence of those specific music functions the main selection points.
