I wrote a command-line MP3 player in C for Windows. I just wanted to play with the media manger API's, but I've ended up using this to play MP3's in succession via a script.

It doesn't work on all versions of Windows ... it depends on some configuration elements. This has been used in another developer's video game and I believe it's installed with an MP3 player library in node.js ( if you're running node.js under Windows. ) It also plays WAV files on Windows 10 (possibly 11) if you pass the name of a WAV file into the command-line.

I needed a command-line emailer that would send an email via Gmail with a very simple one-line body for my Mac. I also wanted to exercise Go's SMTP libraries while experimenting with trying to build a minimal emailer application.

I use this regularly. I used to use it on MacOS, but I use it more frequently on Windows.
