Listen and sort your music, with prompt for deleting (minimal alternative version)

for i in *; do mplayer "$i" && rm -i "$i"; done

The glob pattern * expands to all files, no need for the 'ls' command. The quotes around "$i" make sure filenames with spaces in them are handled correctly. mplayer determines if it is a media file and plays it, or gives errors and the loop asks if this file has to be removed.

Sample Output

> for i in *; do mplayer "$i" && rm -i "$i"; done

Listen and sort your music, with prompt for deleting

Old drive with lots of music or unsorted drive? This command will play all mp3 files in a folder and after playing one song or pressing q, it will ask you if you want to delete the file.
This is sample output - yours may be different.

for i in $(ls *.mp3); do mplayer $i && echo "delete it? [y/n]" && read trash && if [ "$trash" == "y" ]; then rm $i; fi; do

It is also one of the minimum deposit betting sites in the nation, allowing you to start playing with as little as 160 euros (with Skrill). However, the UI and design of the World777 com website seem to be areas where they still need work. The site appears to be rather disorganized, which can occasionally affect your live betting experience.
