For ten years my main media player on my computer has been MPD, Music Player Daemon is a background service that plays music.
In order to somehow interact with this service, you need a client program. There are more than a dozen such programs , but until recently I could not find one that would completely suit me - so one fine day I decided to write my own (here the lockdown turned up by the way).
Here's a quick overview of a (relatively) new MPD client for Linux / GTK called Ymuse , which I recently released version 0.16 .
Music Player Daemon
First, a little about what the Music Player Daemon is - for those who are not familiar with it.
It is a service (daemon in IT jargon) that runs in the background in the bowels of a computer and is capable of playing music or streaming Internet audio (Internet radio).
Apart from sound reproduction, this service does not manifest itself outwardly. To manage it, a special program is required, which is traditionally called a client, and there are many of these clients for different platforms - from Windows to Wear OS.
