It can play music but, being a daemon, any piece of software can interface with it and play sounds, including some CLI clients. + +One of them is called _ncmpcpp_, which is an improvement over the pre-existing _ncmpc_ tool. The name change doesn’t have much to do with the language they’re written in: they’re both C++, but _ncmpcpp_ is called that because it’s the _NCurses Music Playing Client_ _Plus Plus_. + +### Installing MPD and ncmpcpp + +The _ncmpmpcc_ client can be installed from the official Fedora repositories with DNF directly with + +``` +$ sudo dnf install ncmpcpp +``` + +On the other hand, MPD has to be installed from the RPMFusion _free_ repositories, which you can enable, [as per the official installation instructions][2], by running + +``` +$ sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm +``` + +and then you can install MPD by running + +``` +$ sudo dnf install mpd +``` + +### Configuring and Starting MPD + +The most painless way to set up MPD is to run it as a regular user. The default is to run it as the dedicated _mpd_ user, but that causes all sorts of issues with permissions. + +Before we can run it, we need to create a local config file that will allow it to run as a regular user. + +To do that, create a subdirectory called _mpd_ in _~/.config_: + +``` +$ mkdir ~/.config/mpd +``` + +copy the default config file into this directory: + +``` +$ cp /etc/mpd.conf ~/.config/mpd +``` + +and then edit it with a text editor like _vim_, _nano_ or _gedit_: + +``` +$ nano ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf +``` + +I recommend you read through all of it to check if there’s anything you need to do, but for most setups you can delete everything and just leave the following: + +``` +db_file "~/.config/mpd/mpd.db" +log_file "syslog" +``` + +At this point you should be able to just run + +``` +$ mpd +``` + +with no errors, which will start the MPD daemon in the background. + +### Using ncmpcpp + +Simply run + +``` +$ ncmpcpp +``` + +and you’ll see a ncurses-powered graphical user interface in your terminal. + +Press _4_ and you should see your local music library, be able to change the selection using the arrow keys and press _Enter_ to play a song. + +Doing this multiple times will create a _playlist_, which allows you to move to the next track using the _>_ button (not the right arrow, the _>_ closing angle bracket character) and go back to the previous track with _<_. The + and – buttons increase and decrease volume. The _Q_ button quits ncmpcpp but it doesn’t stop the music. You can play and pause with _P_. + +You can see the current playlist by pressing the _1_ button (this is the default view). From this view you can press _i_ to look at the information (tags) about the current song. You can change the tags of the currently playing (or paused) song by pressing _6_. + +Pressing the \ button will add (or remove) an informative panel at the top of the view. In the top left, you should see something that looks like this: + +``` +[------] +``` + +Pressing the _r_, _z_, _y_, _R_, _x_ buttons will respectively toggle the _repeat_, _random_, _single_, _consume_ and _crossfade_ playback modes and will replace one of the _–_ characters in that little indicator to the initial of the selected mode. + +Pressing the _F1_ button will display some help text, which contains a list of keybindings, so there’s no need to write a complete list here. So now go on, be geeky, and play all your music from your terminal! + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://fedoramagazine.org/playing-music-on-your-fedora-terminal-with-mpd-and-ncmpcpp/ + +作者:[Carmine Zaccagnino][a] +选题:[lujun9972][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://fedoramagazine.org/author/carzacc/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/play_music_mpd-816x346.png +[2]: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
