# NCurses Music Player Client (Plus Plus)
|
||
|
||
## ncmpcpp – featureful ncurses based MPD client inspired by ncmpc
|
||
|
||
### Project status
|
||
|
||
The project is officially in maintenance mode. I (Andrzej Rybczak) still use it
|
||
daily, but it's feature complete for me and there is very limited time I have
|
||
for tending to the issue tracker and open pull requests.
|
||
|
||
No new, substantial features should be expected (at least from me). However, if
|
||
there are any serious bugs or the project outright stops compiling because of
|
||
new, incompatible versions of dependencies, it will be fixed.
|
||
|
||
### Main features:
|
||
* tag editor
|
||
* playlist editor
|
||
* easy to use search engine
|
||
* media library
|
||
* music visualizer
|
||
* ability to fetch artist info from last.fm
|
||
* new display mode
|
||
* alternative user interface
|
||
* ability to browse and add files from outside of MPD music directory
|
||
…and a lot more minor functions.
|
||
|
||
### Dependencies:
|
||
* [boost](https://www.boost.org/)
|
||
* [ncurses](https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/announce.html)
|
||
* [readline](https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html)
|
||
* [curl](https://curl.se), for fetching lyrics and last.fm data
|
||
#### Optional libraries
|
||
* [fftw](http://www.fftw.org), for frequency spectrum music visualization mode
|
||
* [taglib](https://taglib.org/), for tag editing
|
||
|
||
### Known issues:
|
||
* No full support for handling encodings other than UTF-8.
|
||
|
||
### Installation:
|
||
The simplest way to compile this package is:
|
||
|
||
1. `cd` to the directory containing the package's source code.
|
||
|
||
For the next two commands, `csh` users will need to prefix them with
|
||
`sh `.
|
||
|
||
2. Run `./autogen.sh` to generate the `configure` script.
|
||
|
||
3. Run `./configure` to configure the package for your system. This
|
||
will take a while. While running, it prints some messages
|
||
telling which features it is checking for.
|
||
|
||
4. Run `make` to compile the package.
|
||
|
||
5. Type `make install` to install the programs and any data files
|
||
and documentation.
|
||
|
||
6. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
|
||
source code directory by typing `make clean`.
|
||
|
||
Detailed intallation instructions can be found in the `INSTALL` file.
|
||
|
||
### Optional features:
|
||
Optional features can be enable by specifying them during configure. For
|
||
example, to enable visualizer run `./configure --enable-visualizer`.
|
||
|
||
Additional details can be found in the INSTALL file.
