## Audio Player Command Line

* __MAC OSX :__ `afplay`

  https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/afplay.1.html

  - `afplay` is build-in command line on macOS; you don't have to do anything for it.

* __UNIX :__ `mpg123`

  http://www.mpg123.de/

```bash
$ sudo apt-get install mpg123
```

* __Windows :__ `dlc`

  http://dlcplayer.jimdo.com/

  - `dlc` is build-in now, so you don't have to install command line by self.
  - You still can download dlcplayer from [here](https://github.com/zlargon/voc/raw/master/dlcplayer.zip) if you want.

## Configuration

```bash
$ voc -d ~/my_vocabulary   # set download directory to '~/my_vocabulary'
$ voc -a mplayer           # set audio command line to 'mplayer'
$ voc -a "dlc -p"          # set audio command line to 'dlc' with argument '-p'
```
