An audio player that can be used on different operating systems and is based on the curses library. It is designed for use with USB flash drives.
Slap is a remarkable software that offers an open source, command line-based, and straightforward audio player for your USB flash drive. Its curses interface is simple and free of frills, allowing easy navigation. Additionally, its search functionality is versatile, supporting both free-text and regex search, while also providing track queuing.

- Affordability: USB flash drives are the cheapest, portable storage option available compared to other devices such as iPods and Zens. With a computer always nearby, why pay extra for an MP3 player?
