Some new CLI apps

1. Canto

Great RSS feed reader based upon python/ncurses. Practically gobsmacked.

2. Cabber

cabber is a customisable jabber console client based in ncurses,

3. Herrie

A command line music player. It supports multiple audio file formats (including MP3 and Ogg Vorbis) and  has  the  ability  to  send
playback  statistics  to AudioScrobbler. The word `herrie' is Dutch for `clamour'. Personally, I found the keybindings a bit difficult compared to cplay which has the basics like playing a track with enter or pausing with spacebar, so have yet to actually play a track with herrie.

4. Juke

If the keybindings for herrie are difficult, juke takes the cake, another app without a play option in the help menu.

5. mybashburn 1.0.2-1

New release of an extremely sophisticated commandline DVD/CD burner. Great replacement for brasero.

6. pacman4console (1.2-2)

Pacman is just a C, while the ghosts are & in an okay pacman maze, different mazes would be a nice.

7. Aylet

aylet plays music files in the `.ay' format.  These  files  are  essen‐
tially  wrappers  around  bits of Z80 code which play music on the Sin‐
clair ZX Spectrum 128's sound hardware - the beeper, or  the  AY-3-8912
sound  chip,  or  both. Files using the Amstrad CPC ports are also sup‐
ported
