NCurses Music Player Client (Plus Plus)
ncmpcpp – featureful ncurses based MPD client inspired by ncmpc
Project status
The project is officially in maintenance mode. I (Andrzej Rybczak) still use it daily, but it's feature complete for me and there is very limited time I have for tending to the issue tracker and open pull requests.
No new, substantial features should be expected (at least from me). However, if there are any serious bugs or the project outright stops compiling because of new, incompatible versions of dependencies, it will be fixed.
Main features:
- tag editor
- playlist editor
- easy to use search engine
- media library
- music visualizer
- ability to fetch artist info from last.fm
- new display mode
- alternative user interface
- ability to browse and add files from outside of MPD music directory …and a lot more minor functions.
Dependencies:
Optional libraries
Known issues:
- No full support for handling encodings other than UTF-8.
Installation:
The simplest way to compile this package is:
cd

For the next two commands, csh
users will need to prefix them with
sh
.
-
Run
autoreconf -fiv
to generate theconfigure
script. -

to compile the package. -
Type

to install the programs and any data files and documentation. -
You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing
