About:
Mpc is a simple client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD). It provides a command-line interface to control playback, manage playlists, and query the status of the music server. This tool allows users to interact with their music collection remotely and integrate audio control into scripts.
Key Features:
  • Lightweight command-line interface
  • Full control over MPD playback and playlists
  • Scriptable for automation and integration
  • Supports querying database status and metadata
Use Cases:
  • Controlling music playback on a headless home server
  • Integrating audio controls into custom scripts or window managers
  • Browsing and managing large music libraries via terminal
Alternatives:
  • ncmpcpp – Ncmpcpp is an advanced ncurses client with a visual interface, whereas Mpc is a minimal CLI tool for scripting.
  • mpd – Mpd is the actual server daemon; Mpc is just a client used to send commands to it.
