A configurable, terminal based Media Player Client with album art support

Rmpc is a beautiful, modern and configurable terminal based Music Player Daemon client. It was inspired by ncmpcpp and aims to provide an alternative with support for album art through kitty image protocol without any ugly hacks. It also features ranger/lf inspired browsing of songs and other goodies.

Written by Mierak on Github. Find the upstream code at https://github.com/mierak/rmpc and documentation on their website https://mierak.github.io/rmpc/

If you want to use the playlists feature, make sure your mpd.conf file uses /var/snap/rmpc/common/playlists for the playlist directory to make it available inside snap confinement.

The configuration file is located in /var/snap/rmpc/common/config.ron and can be modified there.

This snap requires MPD to be installed on the base system. This may change in the future.

Rmpc is still maturing. It is stable for daily use, although breaking changes, while rare, are sometimes unavoidable.
