mp3menu lets you select and play your music files using iselect and alsaplayer. Mainly MP3's, but this will actually play anything alsaplayer and libaudio can handle, so WAV and FLAC are covered, as well as a bunch of ancient formats dating back to the 1980s. Sadly, M4A is not.

Requires:
1. Alsaplayer
2. Iselect
3. Bash - mp3menu is a bash script. It might work with zsh, dash and other shells, or it might not.

Usage:
mp3menu was developed for use in a full-screen Linux console (Press CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to the console), but there's no reason it shouldn't work in a terminal emulator (xterm, etc).

Move, copy or symlink the script to somewhere on your $PATH. Type mp3menu on the command line.

If the system variable MUSICDIR exists, mp3menu will cd to it before starting up. You can set this by adding

export MUSICDIR=~/music

to your .profile or other startup file. If the variable is not found, mp3menu will start up in the current directory.
