cmus is the best player

Re: Best Lightweight Music Player/Manager

mpd + ncmpcpp.  ncmpcpp is much more fully featured than ncmp.  It has a media browser, tagger, search mode, it automatically looks up lyrics etc etc.  I used cmus briefly, and hated it (you shouldn't have to study your music player)

ncmpcpp is in aur, if you use yaourt, all you need to do is "yaourt -S ncmpcpp"  (provided you have mpd up and running)

Re: Best Lightweight Music Player/Manager

i like mocp the most, because it has all i need and nothing more, a directory browser, a playlist, and if you quit, it continue playing, and i found it the more resource lightweight, more than cplay

With MPD, I am using QMPDClient. Take a look, it's great.

MPD+GMPC.

In Openbox, it's the only one that lets me use my multimedia keys. Generally speaking I much prefer Sonata but for the life of me I can't get it working.

There is another advantage of gmpc over sonata: Memory usage. Compare it, the difference is immense!

Re: Best Lightweight Music Player/Manager

Perhaps you should try out mpd + ncmpc and then use Ex Falso for tag editing. That's what I do, anyway.
