rhythmbox - music player and organizer for GNOME

Rhythmbox is an integrated music playing and management application. It is designed to work well under the GNOME Desktop and based on the powerful GStreamer media framework, or the Xine framework, to support a wide range of audio formats (including mp3 and ogg).

Rhythmbox accepts some options common to all X and GNOME applications, like -display displayname. These are not included in the list of options below. You can use the --usage argument to show the complete list of accepted options.

--usage, --help

Print all accepted command line options

--print-playing

Print the playing song and exit

--print-playing-path

Print the playing song URI and exit

--print-song-length

Print the playing song length in seconds and exit

--print-play-time

Print the current elapsed time of playing song and exit

--set-play-time=LONG

Seek to the specified time in playing song if possible and exit

--play-pause

Toggle play/pause mode

--focus

Focus the running player

--previous

Jump to previous song

--next

Jump to next song

-n, --no-registration

Do not register the shell. Use this option when Rhythmbox is not installed in the same prefix as GNOME and complains about ``failed to activate the shell: (null)''. The Rhythmbox FAQ has more information about this issue.

--load-modules=MODULE1, MODULE2, ...

Dynamic modules to load

--dry-run

Don't save changes permanently (implies --no-registration)
