mpc, ncmpc and glurp (mpd clients)

dpb · 2004-09-07 06:45:55

I found mpd (music player daemon) in staging. Just thought it was a bit odd not having any music player clients...

So here ya go, three of them.

I don't use GNUstep. Waited for you to do it.

Very cool I'll try some of them out and maybe add them to staging/my tur if I like..

MPD is nice, but any ideas of how to getting it to startup every time I log in? /etc/rc.d/mpd only works as root...

oscar · 2004-11-04 00:45:40

a simple way would be to put something like this in your .xinitrc or whatever

mpd 2> /dev/null

that will start mpd every time you start x, and mpd won't start if there is another process occuping port 6600.

and gmpc?

mpd is indeed very very nice.

mpc -> extra

I tought that a friend of mine could hear my songs remotely with a mpd-client. But that doesnt worked and i found this:

MPD is meant for server side playback of music, that means music can be listened to only from the speakers that are hooked to the machine that runs MPD. The role of the clients is basicaly that of a remote control: control the playlist, volume and such.

So now i dont see the advantages of this anymore. The clients are poor and the only thing is that i hear sound when i often restart x. Is this all? Isnt it the same if i use mp3blaster and xmms as an example? Plz tell me why you use mpd.

ps: sry for my very bad english. i hope you understand what im trying to say.
