NCurses Music Player Client (Plus Plus) runs in a terminal. https://rybczak.net/ncmpcpp/ For the installation:
sudo pacman -S mpd sudo pacman -S ncmpcpp
after that:
mkdir ~/.config/mpd
then in your favorite text-editor in my case geany:
geany ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf
and copy this simple configuration for Music Player Daemon (mpd):
####### MPD CONFIG ####### # Required files db_file "~/.config/mpd/database" log_file "~/.config/mpd/log" # Optional music_directory "~/Music" playlist_directory "~/.config/mpd/playlists" pid_file "~/.config/mpd/pid" state_file "~/.config/mpd/state" sticker_file "~/.config/mpd/sticker.sql" audio_output { type "alsa" name "mpd alsamixer-output" mixer_type "software" } audio_output { type "fifo" name "toggle_visualizer" path "/tmp/mpd.fifo" format "44100:16:2" } ####### END MPD CONFIG #######
after that in a terminal:
mkdir .config/mpd/playlist
Then type (again in a terminal):
mpd
ncmpcpp
and you are done!!
