You suddenly obtain a time machine. Spat back to the 90’s, two items lay in front of you. A huge Dell tower running Slackware and a DVD with the band of your choice. What do you do? You start the MPD daemon and use MPC to create and listen to your playlist. What if I told you that MPD and MPC are not only still available, but also the fastest, best way to listen to music on Linux? Well, it’s true, and I am going to show you how you can install, setup, and use MPD and MPC to listen to your songs using virtually no resources.
ncmpcpp has come closest to feature parity with Foobar2000, but I just wish there was a much more vi-oriented fork of it or something.
