I have a CentOS 7 server that I want to use as an audio source for our hold music. It does not have a GUI installed, so I am looking for a program with a command line interface that will let me play a folder full of mp3 files on a continuous loop. MOC seems to do what I want, but I can't find a build for CentOS 7. Is there another program that I can use for this? Thanks. -- Bowie

It just worked fine, in commandline, playing one specific file. I didn't try to figure out commandline playlist building. The nux repository, mentioned at the top of this centos wiki page, has mplayer (and a bunch of other audio-related things). <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS7>
