Part of the appeal of mpd is that it runs as a daemon, so you can connect from it anywhere, be it locally or remotely. For instance, I can connect to my server's running instance of mpd and listen and play music from that machine. Or I can connect to my local instance of mpd and listen to music from this machine.
]]>#!/bin/bash
mpd
ncmpcpp
mpd --kill
I don't use mpd, so I don't know if there are certain command line arguments you'd pass, but as a general idea this would be how to do it.
]]>I was just wondering if there is a way out to make the whole process easy. I wish to accomplish:
1. Start mpd followed by ncmpcpp from a ".desktop" file which would show up in the menu.
2. Stop mpd when you quit ncmpcpp.
Any comments would be much appreciated.
