I have a CentOS 7 server that I want to use as an audio source for our hold music. It does not have a GUI installed, so I am looking for a program with a command line interface that will let me play a folder full of mp3 files on a continuous loop.
MOC seems to do what I want, but I can't find a build for CentOS 7. Is there another program that I can use for this?
Thanks.

This something I used years ago:
http://mpg321.sourceforge.net/
Don't know if it works on CentOS 7 anymore.

I think you can do that with mplayer, but you may need to build a playlist first in order to play more than one file. It just worked fine, in commandline, playing one specific file. I didn't try to figure out commandline playlist building.
The nux repository, mentioned at the top of this centos wiki page, has mplayer (and a bunch of other audio-related things).

mplayer is pulling in 83 dependencies! I think I'll look for something a bit more self-contained.

I don't understand that reaction to packaging. mplayer uses a variety of libraries to support a large variety of media types. It doesn't include servers or SUID binaries, so it doesn't carry a significant security risk, and it doesn't consume much disk space. It doesn't make any more sense that complaining about the number of files in a package. (NOTE: "filesystem" contains 15000+ files! DON'T REMOVE IT!)
If you want to support mp3 only, then try mpg123 or madplay http://www.mpg123.de/index.shtml http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/

mpg123 installed from the nux repo and runs, but I'm not getting any audio. It looks like I may be missing drivers or something. When I run mpg123 in verbose mode, I get this:
Audio driver: alsa Audio device: <none>
Any suggestions as to where to go from here?

What is your audio device? Are you sure it's supported?
(The lshw command will tell you what hardware you have.)

Supported by what? OS, or mpg123?
I don't have the lshw command. However, I did find this:
/proc/asound/cards: 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xfc1a0000 irq 42
/proc/asound/Intel/pcm0p/info: card: 0 device: 0 subdevice: 0 stream: PLAYBACK id: ALC888 Analog name: ALC888 Analog subname: subdevice #0 class: 0 subclass: 0 subdevices_count: 1 subdevices_avail: 1

I don't have the lshw command. However, I did find this:
yum -y install lshw. It's nice. Slower to start than dmidecode, but much easier to read. And you can tell it to give you just some info, such as lshw -c storage

That makes sense. I'm doing too many things at once right now...it didn't even occur to me to try to install it from yum.
Here's what I get.

is VLC media player available in CentOS 7?
it will play random order and loop. reads thru sub directories.
but, like MOC [Music On Console], there are a few deps.
vlc was recommended by a poster to a thread i started because i was having some webcam problems.
it cured problems and i have enjoyed using it.
i pulled these vlc files from nux.ro
]$ yum provides vlc* <snip> vlc-core-2.0.8-2.el6.nux.x86_64 : VLC media player core Repo : installed Matched from: Other : vlc-core(x86-64) Other : vlc-nox
vlc-2.0.8-2.el6.nux.x86_64 : The cross-platform open-source multimedia : framework, player and server Repo : installed Matched from: Other : vlc(x86-64) Other : vlc-xorg(x86-64)
vlc-plugin-jack-2.0.8-2.el6.nux.x86_64 : JACK audio plugin for VLC Repo : installed Matched from: Other : vlc-plugin-jack(x86-64)
vlc-extras-2.0.8-2.el6.nux.x86_64 : VLC media player with extras modules Repo : installed Matched from: Other : vlc-extras(x86-64)
i do not know what they deps are, but i do not recall it being a large amount, maybe 10?
