ncmpcpp is a featureful ncurses-based terminal client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD), inspired by ncmpc. It offers a tag editor, playlist editor, media library, search engine, and an optional music visualizer in a keyboard-driven terminal interface.
Use cases
- control MPD music playback from the terminal
- edit music file tags from the command line
- browse and manage a music library in a terminal UI
- visualize audio frequency spectrum in the terminal
- fetch lyrics and artist info from last.fm
- manage MPD playlists
When to choose
- you run MPD and want a rich keyboard-driven terminal client
- you need tag editing and playlist management without a GUI
- you work primarily on a headless or SSH-only machine
When to avoid
- you don't use MPD as your music server
- you want a graphical music player
- you need non-UTF-8 encoding support
- you expect new features, since the project is in maintenance mode
