Ncmpcpp is a TUI front-end for MPD, with an UI very similar to Ncmpc. This is
|
|
|
|
|
|
my main MPD front-end after my i3 shortcuts. You can find below some
|
|
|
|
|
|
screenshots of how my current ncmpcpp configuration looks like.

Ncmpcpp has two vital directories: the lyrics directory, and its own
|
|
|
|
|
|
configuration directory. The configuration for ncmpcpp is generally either in
|
|
|
|
|
|
~$HOME/.ncmpcpp/~ or in ~$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ncmpcpp/~.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC conf

|
|
|
|
|
ncmpcpp_directory = ~/.config/ncmpcpp
|
|
|
|
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When it comes to the lyrics, be sure to set the directory to the same
|
|
|
|
|
|
directory pointed at by Mpd.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
lyrics_directory = ~/.lyrics
|
|
|
|
|
|
#+END_SRC
|

These settings tell ncmpcpp how to communicate with Mpd. Once again, be sure
|
|
|
|
|
|
to follow your own MPD settings. In my case, I am connecting to my local MPD
|
|
|
|
|
|
server, hence the ~localhost~ value of the variable below, and I did not
|
|
|
|
|
|
change the default port of MPD. My music is located at =~/Music=, and ncmpcpp
|
|
|
|
|
|
should connect pretty much immediately, although I allow a five seconds
|
|
|
|
|
|
timeout before ncmpcpp treats it as an error. Also, no crossfade please.
