I know I've tried that in the past too but I realise I forgot to mention it as I can't remember what turned me off it. I'm not sure I tried both the ncurses front ends though so I will give them both (another?) go and see if it does suit me. Although I learned to accept vim (mainly because its the de-facto Linux editor that comes pre-installed with most distros), I'm not a fan of other apps that try to replicate its oddities so I hope they don't involve lots of key combos and illogical commands to use - I do appreciate mocs no nonsense TUI so I'm hoping for something similar. ncmpcpp though? Seriously, that has to rank as one of the most obscure, unmemorable and difficult to pronounce app names ever and God knows I've seen some mingers in my time! :) Thanks Lieven! _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
