2 Overview
3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 ncmpc is a curses client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD). ncmpc connects to
5 a MPD running on a machine on the local network, and controls this with an
6 interface inspired by cplay.
8 Music Player Daemon (MPD) allows remote access for playing music (MP3,
9 Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, and wave files) and managing playlists. MPD is
10 designed for integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides
11 control for music playback over a local network. Read more at musicpd.org
15 How to compile and install ncmpc
16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18 See the INSTALL file.
21 Upgrading to ncmpc-0.11.0
22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23 The syntax for the configuration file (~/.ncmpc/config) has changed, view the
24 manual page or the sample configuration file for details.
26 The old key binding to the select command (space,a) will result in a
27 conflict as the a key is used for the new add command in 0.11.0. The easy
28 solution is to delete your old key bindings (~/.ncmpc/keys), but you can use
29 the built in key editor to solve any key conflicts.
33 Usage
