Description : A command line music player
Draai is a wrapper around mpc, making playing music from the command line more
enjoyable. mpc is a client for MPD, the Music Player Daemon. Using draai,
one can play an audio file (ogg, mp3, whatever your MPD offers), play all
files in a predefined playlist, have a running view with details on current,
past (using tail) and future (using watch) playing songs, skip to the next
song, etc.
.
The interface is purely command-line. No fancy GUI's whatsoever. Not even
any curses-like interface. It does have fancy zsh tab completion though. If
the command line is your preferred user interface, and don't like to learn
a new set of key bindings, you'll like draai. draai is one of the very few
minimalistic MPD clients.
.
Draai consists of one zsh shell script, calling mpc.
.
Next to draai itself, the package installs some extra utilities for dealing
with audio files.
