Using moc player can prove to be both beneficial and challenging. I’ve found myself going back to exaile for a few hours on random days for the simplicity in file management via a GUI. Since I prefer to use a single media player and mocp is light weight and helpful in so many other ways to me… I knew I needed a solution. It dawned on me just today how simple that solution could be with nautilus scripts.

#!/bin/bash
# Enqueue with mocp
# by Tyler "-z-" Mulligan
#
# This is a nautilus script.  When placed in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
# and chmod +x you will have the ability to right click >> enqueue files
# or directories in mocp.
#

mocp -a "$@"

Some other tips… [ and ] silently skip back and forward respectively at a rate of 5sec per second held… this beats the left and arrows which work interactively at 1sec per sec.

? and h bring up the help, don’t forget this. Use this, learn the commands that work for you and happy listening.

Thanks to MrBougo again for helping me simplify the script further… I was originally using a for loop which is unnecessary as the quotes will help the variable expansion and mocp -a can accept multiple files/folders.
