This looks really neat!
Fond memories of using mpd back in the day. I used sonata gtk frontend
This look great. I’ve always wanted to check out self hosting but it makes finding new things more difficult
Oooo, crossfade, nice. Not many music players have/support this, and it’s an essential feature for me.
What is MPD?
MPD (Music Player Daemon) is a server-client audio player long popular with Linux users. The headless daemon runs as a background service, typically on a remote audio server. Music is then accessed via a GUI client frontend, which connects to the MPD server to stream content.
Kind of like running your bespoke, curated music streaming service, in a sense.
Thank you for including a description of what this about. We are too used to Linux that we forget about new users who might be overwhelmed by the ocean of possibilities.
You’re welcome. I’ve been using Linux for 26 years and had never heard of (or at least didn’t remember hearing of) MPD, so it’s not just new users. We all feel a different part of the elephant.
GTK4 software with blur looks incredible. I’m definitely going to be following this project.
I’ll keep ncmpcpp, thanks. I haven’t used a gui music player in years. They seem so goofy now.
i love mpd and will check this out
Very cool, I haven’t used MPD for 15 years, good to hear that it’s alive and well!
