they exist my friend

needs more mpd

>>60208196

MPD isn't a "CLI audio player". It's a music daemon which plays back music controlled via various clients which can but don't have to be CLI clients.
At least inform yourself before you start parrotting wrong information to appear smart and elitist about things you don't even use, retard.

>>60208347
I know what mpd is fuckface

needs more mpd integration

I haven't used mpxplay in years. It was my player until I moved to linux.

>>60208715
it works really well, and the surround sound + high precision mp3 decoder make even the tinniest of built-in laptop speakers sound tolerable.

>>60208117
>a cli music player
try to organize 2TB of music

>>60209536
Not a problem

>>60209536
What's wrong with a simple directory structure? One director for each artist, and one for each album under that. That's what I do, and I just pass files / directories to mpv. I don't get why it has to be more complicated than that.

>>60208117
I used to use NCMPC but now I just use MPC. Combined with zsh's autocompletion, dmenu and a few i3 keybindings it feels like it's the most efficient way to listen to music while doing something else.

>>60209536
>Not organizing your music collection from the shell
This is why you think it's hard. The shell was made to programatically interact with your files.

>>60210531
>Not organizing your music collection from the shell
can you search and sort by artist - year - album ?

>>60210616
>not using beets
here on /g/ we automate repetitive tasks

>>60210616
Of course you can. You're a Windows user aren't you? A *nix user wouldn't ask such a stupid question.

>>60210656
I ask that kind of question because I have a MOUSE and very good GUI player

>>60210656
how?

>>60210616

mpc -f '%artist% - %year% - %album%' playlist | sort | uniq

?

>>60210668
Good for you, dear. If you prefer gooey that's fine, but why are you here?

>>60210717
it's interesting
can you EQ in cli?

>>60210731
You probably can with ALSA/OSS/JACK/PULSE. I never needed to though.

>>60208117
do you guys know if you can use mpd or something to stream spotify? been look for some way to get rid of the standard desktop client. the interface makes it hard to see where the sidebar is and stuff

>>60210823
Five seconds and a search engine yields this: http://blog.grubernaut.com/spotify-mpd-ncmpcpp/

>>60210793
I use alsa cause of my emu1212
you never needed EQ? why?

>>60210849
I just never needed it. Why do you need it?

cmus works for me. Just enough features and pretty enough.

mpd + ncmpcpp looks better, but running a daemon is way overkill for just playing music.

When I listen to music, I'm probably working on something else anyway. Who needs buttons and viz and album covers for that?

>>60210861
Cause there's some freq. I wanna hear more and other I wanna hear less
that's the point of the eq

>>60210731
Yes.

>>60211222
how?

Mpxplay is fantastic but it can't play songs with non-English letters in their names.

>>60211194
I'd rather listen to things the way they were recorded I guess. Besides, if I were to tweak the eq I'd probably need to do that on a per-track or per-album basis. Tweaking the equalizer when listening to metal would probably fuck up the way classical, rap or jazz sounds.

>>60211235
Use google, you lazy bitch.

>>60211265
>not using id3 tags to determine genre and adjust the equalizer preset automatically

shiggy

>>60211289
This wouldn't be accurate. There are jazz songs that only have piano. Others contain mostly sax. Others have a lot of drums. All are jazz. I'd really need to tweak the eq on a per-track basis in order to satisfy my autism.

>>60211265
ofc tweaks are per track.
You can't hear the way they are recorded.

>>60211321
>not using id3 tags to determine subgenre and adjust the equalizer preset automatically

shiggy

>>60211334
I have about 20 000 tracks, I can't go through each of them to find the perfect setting.

>>60211342
So groups don't even have a subgenre. For example Machinae Supremacy could be considered as Metal or Post-Rock but the fuckers have fun mixing chiptune inside their songs. You can't automatically derive the perfect setting from the genre or subgenre.

>>60211391
well, I have 2 TB of music.. that doesnt stop me
you don't have to have a programmed settings for each track. You just have to know how to use EQ sliders and the tuning is done in a few seconds.

>>60208117

mocp ftw

>>60211432
Well you might have autism anon. Adjusting the equalizer every time a new song plays seems painfully annoying to me. I'd rather let the music play and do whatever I have to do.
But to each his own I guess.

I'll ask the obvious question
what is the point
I can't imagine a single advantage compared to gui music players
Is it just another e-peen showoff thing?

>>60211483
>having the means to experience and hear all the instruments and all the layers in music
>autism
sure ok

>>60211527
It was a joke Anon. I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sorry if I did.

>>60211517
You can bind mpc calls to i3 shortcuts. Pretty useful to me.

>>60211527
>fucking with equalizer settings for each and every individual song in your library as they start playing
>autism

Yes, this sounds right.

>>60211517
Sorry but fucking with eq on every single song would completely ruin the enjoyment of songs for me

>>60211609
>>60211684
I bet you use your onboard card for listening

>>60211709
Sure do. I like to listen to the music, not the equipment.

>>60211553
Literally kill yourself, you pathetic sack of shit.

>>60211753
It was just a joke Anon, I swear!

>>60211750
that's like
>Ferarri and Renault feels the same
no point arguing.. you are just retarded

>>60211805
they don´t feel the same
but there´s a diminishing performance gain for an unreasonably big amount of work

>>60211805
Why would I buy a Ferarri when a Renault will get me to my destination just as well?

>>60211839
why do those fuckers here buy i7 with 32g and ryzen shit and 1080ti shit when you don't use it fully?

>>60211839
why are you using latest iphone when simple nokia with a torch does the same job?

>>60211342
while the bait is obvious, i'll bite and say that it has fuck all to do with the genre, but depends on the album and how it was mastered. within genres and subgenres there will still be records that will have been produced differently and therefore sound different. my EQ has a constant slight dip at (and around) 110Hz, as these frequencies tend to be boomy as fuck. there are rare cases where i'll adjust the mids or the highs to my preference, but only if the true sound gets on my nerves.

>>60211834
>big amount of work
>adjusting few sliders in less then 5 sec for maximum impact

>>60210531
>shell
>not storing all metadata in relational DB

>>60211878
Because I have fits of autistic rage if I drop frames while gaymen.

>>60211895
>implying I use a smartphone

>>60211949
show your phone

>>60211975
I'm a fat fuck arguing about CLI music players on a chinese cartoon site. Why would I have a phone? To call the friends I obviously don't have?

>>60211918
I'm sure you can adjust the equalizer perfectly in 5 seconds
in fact, you probably don't even need to hear the song to know what settings you'll need

>>60212022
>don't even need to hear the song to know what settings you'll need
not true

>>60212038
you surely have better things to do than to go and fucking adjust sliders every ~3 minutes or do you not listen to that much music ?

>>60208117
>What do you think of them?
I think they are cringey as fuck

>>60212077
I do listen to music that much and I'm a musician
EQ Does Matter

>>60212038
But what do you gain from doing this, compared to setting eq's once on per-song configuration in sane music players ?
Honet question

>>60212156
Keeps him from stimming while listening to improperly mixed audio.

>>60212156
I hear different elements in music that is hard to hear.. Example: Pink Floyd - Wearing the Inside Out. The solo is so quiet and merges with other layer that if you don't listen carefully you'll lose it.

>>60208117
MOC is the king!

>>60212188
go play csgo or smtng

>>60212216
What i mean is why wouldn't you use a non-cli music player in which you can set eq on per-song basis once and have the program remember the presef for next plays

>>60212263
cause this is my EQ

>>60212316
In that case, why bother with a cli player at all?
Not even trying to be an asshole here, i'm just curious what the advantages are

>>60212340
I'm not using cli player. I'm here just for curiosity.
I asked about cliEQ cause I have never seen one.

>>60210520
What if you have an album by artist A where artist B collaborated and you wanted to listen to all songs with artist B?

>>60212230
This. MOCP is god-tier.

>>60212509
Then I would go to the directory for artist B. Why?

>>60212614
his point is probably that you would either have to duplicate the file or leave it in the directory of artist A thus making the directory of artist B incomplete

>>60214362
>>60212509
that' when you literally name the artist folder after the both artists.

"amps for christ and woods"
"man is the bastard and capitalist casualties"

it's not hard

>>60210520
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

poor man

>>60208871
Is this an advertisement? I can't tell anymore.

>>60215472
even when i use players like clementine that also manage music i still keep my directory structure in-tact.

>>60215508
mpxplay has a bunch of really cute plugins. fake surround sound + a high precision mp3 decoder (like MAD) are two of 'em.

>>60215472
Come on then little pleb, educate me. I've obviously been storing my music incorrectly for years.

>>60212611
it's by far the best console music player out there. sensible defaults and highly functional.

>>60215432
but what if you have the case of a collaboration with many artists?
like those hip hop thingies where there are like thousand different people speaking a line only
aren´t you at some point reach a filename length limit?

>>60216338
then you file it under various artists.

also, people who organize by directory structure do not avoid audio players that read metadata and keep a library database. we just don't let them dictate how our music should be organized on disk.

The configuration file is some autistic faggotry, but it allows a lot of control over the look and feel.

This is my new favorite music player, and it is definitely the mocp of Windows.

>>60208117
feels shitty i cant use mopidy-spotify with ncmpcpp's visualizer

The one thing that MOC needs right now is a music visualizer and more options to tweak the statusbar

Apart from that is the perfect music player, and other music players could learn a thing or two for how MOC manages the playlist

>>60219788
moc is to lfm as cmus is to midnight commander. it's cool to have a ton of features and shit, but it's better to have them easily accessible so the user can figure out how to use them quickly.

>>60212509
>what is tagging

>>60211019
I use mpd on my desktop since it has access to my fileserver and nice speakers. I use remote clients on my phone and laptop unless I leave home, at which point I use local players.

>>60211259
Supposedly the win10 console is Unicode aware now.

>>60208117
mpxplay on dos is even better.
not for any particular reason, just the fact that it has a dos release is cool enough.

>>60208715
Why not just use Foobar2k, given it's way more usable and extensible, also uses almost no RAM, and is pretty minimal for a GUI program?

>>60212509
>organizing music satisfactorily necessitates the use of neural nets and fuzzy logic

>>60220764
>minimal for the sake of minimal
>lack of features as a "feature"

>>60208117

mpv * --shuffle

>>60208117
i don't see why someone would use one of these

>>60223134
i use both foobar and mpxplay

>>60223220
both lfm and moc sport many features, they're just more accessible ootb than in midnight or cmus.
