NAME
       rhythmbox-client - controls a running instance of rhythmbox

SYNOPSIS
       rhythmbox-client [option...][file...]

DESCRIPTION
       rhythmbox-client	 is a tool for controlling an already running instance
       of rhythmbox.  It's useful for remote control  scripting,  adding  spe‐
       cific  files  to	 the  library  from  the shell, or printing details of
       what's playing. Any files specified after the option arguments will  be
       added to the library.  If the --enqueue option is given, the files will
       also be added to the play queue.
