:END:
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.

** Directories
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Core_Ncmpcpp_settings-Directories-28092c92
:END:
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
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Core_Ncmpcpp_settings-MPD-a2a7452e
:END:
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
