for MusicFile in *.mp3 ; do open -w -a quicktime$MusicFile done
OK, the above is a quick bash shell loop that goes through every mp3 file in the current directory one at a time and sends it to the open-w -a The open command is quite impressive, it can open web pages or text files or code samples. You can force applications with either the -a or -b (application and bundle) I believe the bundle id for quicktime would be com.apple.quicktime so in the above example, replacing "-a quicktime" with "-b com.apple.quicktime" should perform the same function. The -w option above tells open to prevent additional calls to open until the quicktime applcation exits. It might (I say might) be possible to send mp3 directly to /dev/audio, I am fairly sure I have done this on some unix variant n that case... cat *.mp3 > /dev/audio would do the trick. Gee, isn't UNIX fun. Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com.
