Playing Music on your Fedora Terminal with MPD and ncmpcpp
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
![][1]
|
||
|
||
MPD, as the name implies, is a Music Playing Daemon. 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!
