rmpc is a modern, highly configurable terminal-based client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD), written in Rust. It supports album art via Kitty, Sixel, and iTerm2 image protocols, synchronized lyrics, YouTube playback, and a ranger/lf-style three-column library browser.
Use cases
- control mpd music player from the terminal
- display album cover art in a terminal
- tui alternative to ncmpcpp
- browse music library in a three-column terminal ui
- show synchronized lyrics while playing music
- play youtube music through mpd
- script and remote-control a music player from window manager keybinds
When to choose
- you run MPD and want a modern, themeable TUI client with album art support
- you want vim-like keybinds and a ranger/lf-style library browser
- you need scripting hooks and CLI remote control for automation or WM integration
When to avoid
- you use Mopidy instead of real MPD - protocol support is incomplete
- you need to edit or manage music files directly - rmpc is only an MPD client
- you are on Windows or macOS - only Linux is officially supported
- you rely on album art inside Zellij - sixel support there is unreliable
