Play an mp3 from command line with ffplay

When I'm trying to focus I often play white noise quietly in the background. For a long time I've used various YouTube videos of rain, white noise, etc., but wanted to cut out the reliance on a browser and the internet.

I now play an mp3 file using ffplay, which is part of ffmpeg. The command is:

ffplay -nodisp -autoexit -volume 10 path/to/song.mp3

The flags used are:

-nodisp: Suppresses the video/output window and spectrum visualizer

-autoexit: Quit automatically when playback finishes (otherwise ffplay will wait for more input)

-volume 10: Set software playback volume

And then the location of the audio file itself.
