I use mpd, and I find most of the frontends useless. You can use mpc search or grep to find the music you want and pipe it to mpc add. So mpc listall | mpc add adds every song in your music directory to the current playlist, or use search/find to filter through what you want. > Press 'z' to turn random on and off.

I bound alt+v to mpc prev, alt+b to mpc next and alt+g to mpc toggle and alt+p to "mpc crop; mpc load $(basename $(ls ~.mpd/playlists/ | dmenu) .m3u); mpc play" in my wm. Couldn't be simpler, all I want from my music player is to stay out of my way, and that couldn't be more true for mpd. > > > -- > Guilherme M.
