I installed moc on Debian 3.1 from it's packages, but it can't play sound - it shows this error
Can't set sample rate 44100, device doesn't support this value

XMMS/Noatunes works just fine. Any suggestions?

I tried both -R OSS and -R ALSA - same results...

I'm new to debian, I prefer FreeBSD where mocp works just fine....

Hi!!

I have music files packed to archives and prepared to upload by P2P folks.
Would it be possible, to play such packed files with MOC , as
long, long time ago, I used play those files with Foobar2000 (Win)??

I have a network directory on a Windows box mounted via samba. When I select a VBR-encoded mp3 on this directory, there is a long delay (up to a minute) before playback starts - the longer the mp3, the longer the wait. If I have deduced correctly, this is because MOC is preloading the whole VBR file to determine its length before starting playback. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but because out network is wireless and old, this preloading happens at a crawling 350KB/s.

Is there any way to prevent this preloading? MOC claims to support Xing headers. That would solve the problem as the track length is saved in the Xing header. However, this problem still happens with Xing-header equipped mp3s - I think. Maybe my experiment with mpgedit didn't work after all...

Thanks,
Andi

Fellow moc users,

here's a handy tip that I'm finding so useful to warrant mentioning to everybody else. Lynx-like directory browsing:

go_up = LEFT
go = RIGHT ENTER

The standard keybindings for left and right are MPlayer-like, but I browse directories much more than I seek files and I think many others do. Of course you need to redefine the seeking keybindings too. Here are some sane values, at least for US keyboards:

seek_backward = [
seek_forward = ]
seek_backward_fast = {
seek_forward_fast = }

Thanks to whoever made the keys customizable!

I was looking in moc for APE (MonkeyAudio) support, but it seems that this format is no supported. If i am wrong please let me know. If this format is not supported, are there any plans to put support for it to mocp ?.

Whenever I try to play something in MOC I get this error in the bottom "status bar", then the program tries the next song in the playlist, I get the same error, and so on. I have not been able play anything with MOC on this computer. I have tried playing multiple song formats, various mp3s and flac. Every other program plays music just fine (mpg321, flac123, play, xmms, beep-media-player...)

OS: Debian unstable
Kernel: custom vanilla 2.6.11.5

I have tried both Debian packages, the one in Debian unstable (2.3.3-1) and the development one from your site (2.3.3+2.4.0-alpha2-2) though I have not been able to compile the subversion code myself. Something with "underquoted definition of AM_PATH_LIBXOSD" and "LIBTOOL is undefined". Whatever.

Is this the right place to report a bug?

I created MOC plugin for GkrellM 2.0 (I hope there is no other plugin like myone for GkrellM).
You can download it from:
http://84.242.66.68/~golemj/moc/GkrellM-MOC-0.1.tar.bz2
http://84.242.66.68/~golemj/moc/GkrellM-MOC-0.1.tar.bz2.md5

Please report me any bugs.

Hi, i've just compiled 2.4.0-beta1 on a Slackware type setup. When I select an m3u playlist to play, the directory its in is also added to the moc playlist and when I try to play my file, moc complains that there is no decoder for playing the directory!.
