uhh whats a good tui mpd client with vi binds

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore dont fall for the meme please mpd is so fucking janky and horrible and you cant even listen with multiple clients at the same time i thought itd be a nice option for listening from my phone too but its just a pain

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore moc and cmus really are just way less of a headache

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore like to get it to refresh library changes you need to restart not just your client but the entire daemon its so annoying

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean ok ill actually just straighr up believe u and maybe set up navidrome

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore i wasted so much time trying to make mpd work and it was so not worth it

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore like i dont want to tell you not to do something but i strongly urge you to reconsider

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean if youre the one arguing against Le Unixoid Way i will trust you no questions asked

[callie@social.besties.house]

@coolbean @fiore its been years but i do Not remember it being this way, im probably misremembering that though, crazy i put up with that for Years then i cant believe that

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@callie @fiore i at least remember this being a massive pain while editing metadata

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@callie @fiore but at the very least it was consistently more fiddly and annoying than just using a regular music player program

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@callie @fiore frankly i dont even grasp why a music player should be a daemon in the first place

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @callie@besties.house idk what mpd does . what im looking for is smth that i can run on my server , supports many different clients connecting at once , and is simple

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore @callie then maybe mpd could be the solution but im not certain, i couldnt get it to play on more than one client at a time i think

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore @callie but also... i mean you can just throw your music library into an sshfs and open that in moc

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@callie @fiore i wish cmus stored stuff like playlists in place as files like moc does

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @callie@besties.house i guess just having the music library served over sftp and pointing regular clients to it thru sshfs could work

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @callie@besties.house yea ok beat me to it

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @callie@besties.house it doesnt ? ive never used cmus playlist tbh

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @callie@besties.house but whatever like . mpv does the job too . who cares
