Written entirely in JS mpg123 (http://www.mpg123.de/) wrapper for Node.js.
sudo apt-get install mpg123
npm install node-mpg123
var Sound = require('node-mpg123');
// fire and forget:
new Sound('/path/to/the/file/filename.mp3').play();
// with ability to pause/resume:
var music = new Sound('/path/to/the/file/filename.mp3');
music.play();
setTimeout(function () {
music.pause(); // pause the music after five seconds
}, 5000);
setTimeout(function () {
music.resume(); // and resume it two seconds after pausing
}, 7000);
// you can also listen for various callbacks:
music.on('complete' function () {
console.log('Done with playback!');
});It's simple as that.
In progress.
