Herrie is a text user interface based music player. It has a split-screen file manager and playlist interface and supports a number of file formats (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, FLAC, etc.). It also has some extra features, including a chroot function for untrusted setups (remote logins, parties, etcetera). AudioScrobbler is also implemented using cURL.
The name Herrie comes from the Dutch word for 'loud noise', spelled in the same manner.
On November 29, 2007, won a 3rd prize award at the Les Trophées du Libre contest in the category Multimedia & Games.
