pyamp is a command-line media player written in Python and uses Gstreamer as the media backend. It began life as a holiday project for Paul Weaver, and the name is either an homage to Winamp of old, or, more likely an acronym for "Please, yet another media player?!".

To try it out, you'll need to install python-gstreamer and sqlite from your repos, and then you can pip install it. There's not a huge amount to go on as yet, but current features are:

• Full-screen terminal interface to really get you in the zone
• Progress bar, time and track title display
• Seeking, volume controls, fade-out on quit
• Track indexing and searching
• Very customisable via YAML config

You can currently run it on the command line like:

pyamp /path/to/media_file

or, for some more fun, try

pyamp <partial artist/album/track name>

Enjoy!
