Are you obsessed with music? Do you listen to MP3s? Do you want to have non-stop music? If you answered "yes" to these questions, then this hint might be for you.
The other day I was not quite happy about the idea that when I "woke up" my computer, iTunes was not playing. I was sure that when I hit the Sleep button, it was playing, but not so in the morning when I woke up my laptop. So, I went back to mpg123 that I have had installed for long time (see this hint and tried the following (it's unix 101, I know, but you might find it ... useful?):
mpg123 -q -Z -@ myPlaylist.m3u >& /dev/null &
This tells mpg123 to play myPlaylist.m3u (see this hint on creating playlists); plays the MP3s in random order (-Z); directs the (text) output to /dev/null; and runs the process in the background (&).
