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
|

|
||
** MPD

|
||
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.
|
||
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
|
||
mpd_host = localhost
|
||
mpd_port = 6600
|
||
mpd_music_dir = ~/Music
|
||
mpd_connection_timeout = 5
|
||
mpd_crossfade_time = 0
