.TH DEADBEEF "1" "December 29, 2014" "DeaDBeeF 0.6.2" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
deadbeef \- ultimate music player for GNU/Linux
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B deadbeef
[\fIOPTION\fR]... [\-\- \fIFILE\fR]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" Add any additional description here
DeaDBeeF (as in 0xDEADBEEF) is an audio player for GNU/Linux, *BSD, OpenSolaris,
and other UNIX-like systems. DeaDBeeF plays files encoded with MP3, Ogg Vorbis,
FLAC, WAV, and AAC, as well as many exotic codecs, and it offers a
fully-featured metadata editor with automatic character set detection and
Unicode support.
DeaDBeeF's interface is reminiscent of the well-known nonfree music player
Foobar2000, including multiple playlists with selection via tabs, customizable
groups within playlists, album cover display, global hotkey support, and OSD
integration.
When started without a file, \fBdeadbeef\fR opens a graphical window displaying
the user's music library. When started with a file, \fBdeadbeef\fR behaves in
exactly the same way, but it also plays the specified file.
