What do you think of them? Which do you prefer?
I love MOCp under LiGNUx, and I've been consistently blown away by Mpxplay on Windows (pic related). I've tried cMus, and it's comparable to MOCp, even better in some areas, but the latter is so damn comfy I just can't kick it.

Hipster garbage
they exist my friend
needs more mpd
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.
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.
it works really well, and the surround sound + high precision mp3 decoder make even the tinniest of built-in laptop speakers sound tolerable.
>a cli music player
try to organize 2TB of music
Not a problem
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.
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.
>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.
>Not organizing your music collection from the shell
can you search and sort by artist - year - album ?
>not using beets
here on Sup Forums we automate repetitive tasks
Of course you can. You're a Windows user aren't you? A *nix user wouldn't ask such a stupid question.
I ask that kind of question because I have a MOUSE and very good GUI player
how?
mpc -f '%artist% - %year% - %album%' playlist | sort | uniq ?
Good for you, dear. If you prefer gooey that's fine, but why are you here?
it's interesting
can you EQ in cli?
You probably can with ALSA/OSS/JACK/PULSE. I never needed to though.
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
Five seconds and a search engine yields this: blog.grubernaut.com
I use alsa cause of my emu1212
you never needed EQ? why?
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?
Cause there's some freq. I wanna hear more and other I wanna hear less
that's the point of the eq
Yes.
how?
Mpxplay is fantastic but it can't play songs with non-English letters in their names.
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.
Use google, you lazy bitch.
>not using id3 tags to determine genre and adjust the equalizer preset automatically
shiggy
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.
ofc tweaks are per track.
You can't hear the way they are recorded.
>not using id3 tags to determine subgenre and adjust the equalizer preset automatically
shiggy
I have about 20 000 tracks, I can't go through each of them to find the perfect setting.
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.
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.
mocp ftw
Well you might have autism user. 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?
>having the means to experience and hear all the instruments and all the layers in music
>autism
sure ok
It was a joke user. I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sorry if I did.
You can bind mpc calls to i3 shortcuts. Pretty useful to me.
>fucking with equalizer settings for each and every individual song in your library as they start playing
>autism
Yes, this sounds right.
Sorry but fucking with eq on every single song would completely ruin the enjoyment of songs for me
I bet you use your onboard card for listening
Sure do. I like to listen to the music, not the equipment.
Literally kill yourself, you pathetic sack of shit.
It was just a joke user, I swear!
that's like
>Ferarri and Renault feels the same
no point arguing.. you are just retarded
they don´t feel the same
but there´s a diminishing performance gain for an unreasonably big amount of work
Why would I buy a Ferarri when a Renault will get me to my destination just as well?
why do those fuckers here buy i7 with 32g and ryzen shit and 1080ti shit when you don't use it fully?
why are you using latest iphone when simple nokia with a torch does the same job?
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.
>big amount of work
>adjusting few sliders in less then 5 sec for maximum impact
>shell
>not storing all metadata in relational DB
Because I have fits of autistic rage if I drop frames while gaymen.
>implying I use a smartphone
show your phone
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?
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
>don't even need to hear the song to know what settings you'll need
not true
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 ?
>What do you think of them?
I think they are cringey as fuck
I do listen to music that much and I'm a musician
EQ Does Matter
But what do you gain from doing this, compared to setting eq's once on per-song configuration in sane music players ?
Honet question
Keeps him from stimming while listening to improperly mixed audio.
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.
MOC is the king!
go play csgo or smtng
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
cause this is my EQ
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
I'm not using cli player. I'm here just for curiosity.
I asked about cliEQ cause I have never seen one.
What if you have an album by artist A where artist B collaborated and you wanted to listen to all songs with artist B?
This. MOCP is god-tier.
Then I would go to the directory for artist B. Why?
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
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
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
poor man
Is this an advertisement? I can't tell anymore.
even when i use players like clementine that also manage music i still keep my directory structure in-tact.
mpxplay has a bunch of really cute plugins. fake surround sound + a high precision mp3 decoder (like MAD) are two of 'em.
Come on then little pleb, educate me. I've obviously been storing my music incorrectly for years.
it's by far the best console music player out there. sensible defaults and highly functional.
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?
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.
Thanks. I miss being able to use nvlc since I kicked my GNU + Linux habit.
Look at all this free stuff. :3
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.
feels shitty i cant use mopidy-spotify with ncmpcpp's visualizer
symlinks, maybe?
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
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.
>what is tagging
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.
Supposedly the win10 console is Unicode aware now.
mpxplay on dos is even better.
not for any particular reason, just the fact that it has a dos release is cool enough.
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?
>organizing music satisfactorily necessitates the use of neural nets and fuzzy logic
