gst123 is a GStreamer-based command line audio player in the style of mpg123 and ogg123. The advantage over these tools is that gst123 can play every file GStreamer can, so mixed music collections with FLAC, Ogg, and MP3 files are no problem. Newer versions of gst123 additionally provide support for playing video files, while the ability to use gst123 without X11 display has been preserved.

Recent releases


Release Notes: This release supports building with GStreamer 1.0 or GStreamer 0.10. PulseAudio output support was added. Time display updates were fixed. The player now quits properly if none of the files in the playlist can be played. The code was cleaned up to avoid compiler warnings.


Release Notes: A quiet mode (gst123 -q) has been added, which suppresses all messages during playback. Image files are now ignored, which simply skips album cover images found in playback directories instead of displaying them.
