Notes
-
If you want to optimize your build of plow use
CXXFLAGS, e.g.
$ CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4" make
-
You may want to change PREFIX in Makefile to
install plow into another directory.
Setting up and using plow
If you use plow for the first time, it creates
~/.plow/plow.conf and ~/.plow/plow.sqlite.
Then edit ~/.plow/plow.conf and change at least
path and player0 settings under [general] section.
If you use Ogg/Vorbis files it is recommanded to change also the
field names under [vorbis] section.
-
Run:
$ plow -I /path/to/music
to fill the database. This may take a long time.
- Thats it now you can try:
$ plow --help
or just create a playlist containing all files
$ plow
