qmmp: Seek forwards or backward a specific amount of time in seconds.
$ qmmp --seek-${select} ${time_in_seconds}
try on your machine

This command is used to execute the Qmmp audio player with the specified options. Here's an explanation of the individual parts:

  • qmmp: This is the command to run the Qmmp audio player.

  • --seek-${select}: This is an option for the qmmp command. The ${select} placeholder should be replaced with a specific value. The purpose of this option is to seek to a specific position in the audio file being played. The value of ${select} determines the type of seeking. For example, if ${select} is replaced with prev, it would seek to the previous track; if replaced with next, it would seek to the next track; and if replaced with current, it would seek to the current track.

  • ${time_in_seconds}: This is another placeholder that needs to be replaced with a specific value. It represents the time in seconds to seek to within the audio file. For instance, if you want to seek to the 30th second in the file, ${time_in_seconds} should be replaced with 30.

In summary, the command qmmp --seek-${select} ${time_in_seconds} launches the Qmmp audio player and instructs it to seek to a specific position within the currently playing audio file, using the ${select} and ${time_in_seconds} values.
