Bongo is a buffer-oriented media player for Emacs, contemporary with and
|
||
comparable to <pkg>app-emacs/emms</pkg>.
|
||
|
||
Notable features of Bongo include
|
||
* separate playlist and library buffers (each of which you may have any
|
||
number — even zero of both is okay if you don’t need playlist
|
||
functionality),
|
||
* hierarchical buffers with collapsable sections for each artist and album,
|
||
* familiar Emacs bindings for editing Bongo buffers (edit playlists much
|
||
like you would regular text),
|
||
* a nice visual seeking interface doubling as a progress meter (hit ‘s’),
|
||
* a visual audio volume control (<pkg>app-emacs/volume</pkg>, which is
|
||
actually a stand-alone package),
|
||
* built-in support for playing and retrieving information about audio CDs,
|
||
* built-in support for submitting information to Last.fm using
|
||
‘lastfmsubmitd’,
|
||
* the ability to perform arbitrary actions (stopping playback is a simple
|
||
example) once playback reaches certain points in the playlist, using
|
||
so-called “action tracks”,
|
||
* an XMMS-like keymap for XMMS refugees,
|
||
* zero-configuration, out-of-the-box rock’n’roll action.

Bongo currently comes with backends for VLC, mpg321, ogg123, speexdec,
|
||
TiMidity and MikMod. All backends support pausing and resuming, but only VLC
|
||
and mpg321 support interactive seeking. Defining your own non-interactive
|
||
backends is very simple.
