mp3blaster in Slackware terminal

i like to use screen for this type of stuff:

screen -S myScreen

This will launch the screen program in your same terminal, using whatever label you want ( "myScreen" ). Then at the prompt, launch your app as normal, e.g.:

mp3blaster

then you can detech from the screen and return to your original terminal by pressing [CTRL]+[A], then [D]

To re-attach to it, run a command to list your currently running screens:

screen -ls

and look for the output that has your label in it ( "myScreen" ), it will look something like:

    10046.myScreen (Detached)

Then reattach to it like this:

screen -r 10046

Also, I've never used mp3blaster, but can you start it up in the background the old-school way, with an ampersand?

mp3blaster &

I have tested mp3blaster on slackware, running the app in the background stops the song. It looks like the best approach will be to use screen, then reattaching to you screen session to resume control.
