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?
