Mplayer for music

I would like to have something like this:

1.) nautilus script
right click on file/dir to copy full path of file/dir
2.) text file
to paste the full paths of to be played items or dirs
3.) utility to handle the text file as a playlist

Description of the utility:
- uses mplayer to play audio/video files
- reads the first line of the text file, starts to play it, than deletes it so the second line becomes the new first line (alternately it moves the line to another text file's end, so the user can go backward in the playlist)
- user can edit the text file on-the-fly between tracks (edit playlist while playing)
- utility should be fool-proof (in case of wrong input it should pause and wait for user to correct error in playlist)


SD card failing...

I got these kind of errors with my microSD cards when I want to write on them. One is a 32GB SDHC the other is a 2GB SD.

in nautilus
Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/mmcblk0p1: Input/output error
with cp
cp: cannot create regular file `/media/Zene/test.mp3': Input/output error
with rsync
rsync: rename "/media/Zene/.test.mp3.FUG0AR" -> "test.mp3": Input/output error (5)
rsync: mkstemp "/media/Zene/.test.jpg.MMYg55" failed: Read-only file system (30)
sent 149488152 bytes  received 183 bytes  499126.33 bytes/sec
total size is 149469329  speedup is 1.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1060) [sender=3.0.7]

and after this the drive was empty once again :-/

even in windows7, SD card dismounts after copy finished and almost everything disappears from the drive. SD slot did not come up on win7.

regarding the mp3 player I wanted to prep for usage with sd card, the files have to be loaded one after another to keep the order of the songs of the albums.
to copy sequentially use {rsync -v -r source/. for local folder/ dest} for directories.

~$ sudo fsck -v /dev/sdcard
can write out interesting information, but has been no help regarding this problem.

Mplayer music playback with playlist

the command to use:
$ mplayer -playlist playlist.txt 

to make a playlist:
1. go to the directory that contains the files you want to make a playlist of.
2.
$ find . -type f -name "*.mp3" | sort > directory_playlist.txt
3. edit txt file so it has the full path (not necessary)

to do the same with a one-line command (if you do not need to edit the playlist):
$ mplayer -playlist <(find /directory/of/your/music/ -name "*.mp3" -type f | sort)

hit enter for the next track
cit crtl+c to break playback

A couple of useful commands with or within mplayer:
-shuffle : shuffle playlist
-loop : play the playlist repeatedly (can be combined with -loop)
