Benben
Benben is a fast and efficient command line audio player and audio converter for Linux and other Unix-like systems with an oldschool-inspired interface. It supports multiple formats, and is especially suited to people who organize their music in folders, and for those who prefer to use terminals instead of GUIs. Starting with v0.7.0, it is written almost entirely in the Common Lisp programming language.
The latest release is v0.6.1, released on December 22nd, 2024.
Benben is entirely written and maintained by one person, Remilia Scarlet! If you want to support her and Benben, you can buy her a coffee on Ko-Fi, or support her through Liberapay. Support is greatly appreciated for this volunteer effort ^_^
