pajackconnect VS ncmpcpp

PulseAudio: PulseAudio-ALSA-JACK Bridge (Comes out of the box with Cadence!) pavucontrol The rest of PulseAudio magic is done by playing with your default.pa/system.pa files ;)

> Yeah making PulseAudio play nice with JACK seems to be tricky.

for me https://github.com/brummer10/pajackconnect has worked flawlessly... but I've switched to pipewire and I'm not looking back !

start jack, start pulseaudio, run pajackconnect, done

Jack + Qjackctl to set things like buffer size has actually been pretty seamless to me using Bitwig. Everything kind of just works once I setup a Pulse Audio -> Jack Bridge via Qjackctl and this script. I can get latency way down low in Bitwig, and then when I'm running normal apps and games the bridge works perfectly. Pipewire is exciting though, it's just pretty new so I haven't seen as much documentation or tools.

well, https://github.com/ncmpcpp/ncmpcpp has 1.8k stars, and my project, IMO, is a humble attempt at making a better version of that

Nevermind, Azlyrics changed the html tags so the lyric_fetchers was simply fetching blank. This PR takes care of it. I simply build the the branch with the commit and everything is working. Expect to see it in the next few upstream release

Sadly that's an old bug, occuring when the mpd config is faulty: https://github.com/ncmpcpp/ncmpcpp/issues/147

An alternative Emacs client for MPD is Mingus (although i myself use the standalone ncurses client ncmpcpp).

The little one at the bottom right is mako, the music player is ncmpcpp and the music visualiser is cava

If you want to stream audio from a service like Spotify or SoundCloud, I can recommend Mopidy as a backend with a commandline frontend like ncmpcpp.
