I use the music playing daemon, aka mpd, for my mp3 playing needs. I
prefer it as a music solution.

http://www.musicpd.org

As there was no built-in way for freevo to act as a client, I set up a
launcher to fire up a terminal with a copy of the console client running
in it. In order for it to be remote-worthy, I have to use irxevent to
control it.

Currently, my hackneyed solution is to kill freevo, fire up the
irxevent/ncmpc combo and then exit all of that and restart freevo to
"leave" the music player.

I'm simply looking for a better way to integrate an MPD client into the
player.

Anyone have any ideas?
