#67 Could an option be added to support a playlist aka a local file?

[robert heiler]

Would it be possible to add something like:

--playlist=foobar.yml
--playlist=foobar.md
--playlist=foobar.pls

To add support for playlists? This can be as simple as one file per line.

The reason I'd like this e. g. --playlist=
would be because I want an alternative to ffmpeg/mpv. mpv currently dos not work
on my system, so I needed alternatives. mpg123 works fine and plays audio too.

Stricly speaking I may not need a playlist since I can use ruby to pass to mpg123
what I want to see, but I like having a static playlist ready as-is, and just
use it as a file, which I tend to re-use a lot.

Well, one needs to read further on the man page, but there is, since a loooong time:

   -@ file, --list file
      Read filenames and/or URLs of MPEG audio streams from
      the specified file in addition to the ones specified on
      the command line (if any).  Note that file can be
      either an ordinary file, a dash ``-'' to indicate that
      a list of filenames/URLs is to be read from the
      standard input, or an URL pointing to a an appropriate
      list file.  Note: only one -@ option can be used (if
      more than one is specified, only the last one will be
      recognized). Furthermore, for HTTP resources, the MIME
      type information will be used to re-open an actual MPEG
      stream as such instead of treating it as playlist file.
      So you could just always use -@ for web resources
      without bothering if it is a playlist or already the
      resolved stream address.
