I hate how software written by amateurs doesn’t abide by good engineering principles — namely KISS.

If you don’t know/haven’t heard of KISS, and you code, please stop right now and give up.

Works more like a typical music player, just on the command-line. No need to set up music repositories and use relative paths from there. Even better, use moc instead of mpd.

Because running an X app across the network is godforsakenly less efficient than sending back a stream of audio. Because you can't connect from multiple locations to one playing stream. Because running mplayer across a network requires the user to have a shell acount on the machine. Because it would require X on the user's machine, which most Windows users won't have. And yes, this project has Windows clients availabl.<br /> <br /> It's called "this software is more complex and uses better software engineering practices than you apparently understand". If you haven't heard about it before, and you code, you should be ashamed of yourself for showing your ass in public like this. Why?
