Appendix C: Music player ("Listen") ECP commands

There are two music playing applications on the HD1000, release 1.0. The first is called "Listen",
and it is the GUI player you normally launch from the Main Menu. The second is called
"mp3player", and is a faceless background application used by Art Packs or other tasks where
music is meant to accompany some other display.
The table below shows commands valid for the Listen app. From the shell, the syntax to invoke
these commands is:
ecp ListenApp <command> [<arguments>]
Unlike Photo, the command is not case-sensitive.
