CONFIGURATION FILES

/etc/audtty.conf

Global configuration file.

$HOME/.audtty.conf

Local configuration file, specific for each user. Can be used to override the global options.

The syntax of the configuration files are long options without the ’--’, one on each line.
Example:

numbers
title
length no-read-all

BUGS

The xmms remote controlling library provides no good way of detecting changes in the playlist, and therefore audtty might need to be told to reload the playlist if songs are moved. Do so by pressing L. If the length of the playlist changes, audtty will assume the playlist has changed and reload the entire playlist to make sure it is correct.

Probably lots more.
