Yes. See http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/en/man1/pianobar.1.html if you are running Ubuntu 10.10, or http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/en/man1/pianobar.1.html if you are running Ubuntu 11.04.

In general, you can find out what parameter syntax command-line programs (and sometimes other programs) take by running the command

man programname

where programname is replaced with the name of the program (as you would type it to run the program). So, another way to see the pianobar manual page is to run:

man pianobar

Can you help with this problem?
