♫> Listlace

Listlace is an mpd (music player daemon) client that uses a Ruby prompt as the interface, allowing you to use the power of Ruby to query your music library and build playlists.

Install

It's a gem, so do this:

$ gem install listlace

Listlace is an mpd client, so make sure mpd is installed and running in the background.

Usage

The gem gives you an executable, so do this:

$ listlace

It gives you a prompt, which is just a Ruby prompt, with the commands below implemented as methods.

Commands

p

p is like a play/pause button. If the player is paused, it unpauses. If the player is playing, then it pauses. If the player is stopped, then it starts playing.

mpd

mpd gives you an instance of the MPDClient object, which you can use to send any mpd command that isn't available in Listlace yet. This'll probably be removed once I actually implement all the commands.
