MOC (Music On Console) is a Music player app for Linux/Unix Command Line Interface designed to be simple and robust enough to run smoothly without significantly affecting other I/O operations. MOC performs sleekly despite system or I/O load because, according to the dev team, it “uses the output buffer in a separate thread. It provides gapless playback because the next file to be played is reached while the current file is playing”.
