Optional libraries required by MOC:

MAD - High-quality MPEG audio decoder, used for decoding MP3. It also contains libid3tag.

Vorbis - Fully Open, non-proprietary, patent-and-royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format.

FLAC - Free Lossless Audio Codec. From the home page: Grossly oversimplified, FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without anyloss in quality.

Speex - Patent-free audio compression format designed for speech.

Musepack with taglib - Audio compression format with a strong emphasis on high quality.

libsndfile - A library to read various audio formats like WAV, AIFF, SND etc.

libcurl - for Internet streams.

libresamplerate - for resampling.

JACK - low-latency audio server.

FFmpeg - Library for decoding various audio formats (WMA, ReadAudio, (.ra), AAC, MP4 in MOC).

librcc - Library that can fix encoding of MP3 files with ID3 tags v1/1.1.

Other ncurses console players:

playmp3list - MOC's interface is based on this mp3 player.

mp3blaster - The most powerful player for console (beside MOC) I've ever seen, but in my opinion it has very unclear interface.

PyTone - Python based player with internal and external pluggable players (like mpg123, xmms).

cplay - a curses front-end for various audio players.

Open Cubic Player - Old audio player, originally for DOS.

CMus - Powerful music player with vi-style commands and interesting interface.

mplay - Quite powerful frontend for MPlayer.
