waymonad VS cmus

I am personally waiting for Waymonad. https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad

It takes time, but the teams behind wlroots etc are doing good work to make sure that wms managed by smaller teams can exist. There are even clones for your specific wm on wayland. See https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad

In addition, there was the last commit in 2019. Thus, it can be assumed that the project is dead and therefore nothing will change on the current state. And according to https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44, there are probably not enough people who would actively participate in a fork.

Ideally xmonad would be ported/xmonad devs would be working on waymonad, but I doubt it will happen. Waymonad seems to be abandoned.

Nice to see Qtile on Wayland. But I'm personally waiting for xmonad on Wayland.

I wouldn't count on it, as Waymonad has not seen active development since 2019 and the Haskell bindings to wlroots have not been updated since 2019 as well. There is a fork, but it has not been active since September 2021. Also, it was based on wlroots, not sway.

That's what the XMonad fans are using: https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad lets you write your Wayland compositor in Haskell, is analogy to the way XMonad lets you write your X window manager in Haskell.

Unfortunately it was abandoned https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44

regarding keeping an interest, waymonad has been dead for something like two and a half years but according to startrack it's still getting people giving him stars so i don't think you should worry about it.

Cmus. https://github.com/cmus/cmus

VLC can be used to play a file from the command line, but there is no user interface. Players like cmus and musikcube have a text based interface and library management.

cmus [1] is the closest I found to foobar2000. It is my main music player now, after years of disappointment. It supports FLAC and they claim they support CUE sheets, although I haven't tested your particular scenario. The way I use it is I have all my library in it at once, iTunes style. It has good search & playlists, but no drag&drop, since it's just command line...

Foobar2000 or CMus (CLI, but very simply and powerfull - but ofc no cover art without additional plugins/apps). https://www.foobar2000.org/mac https://github.com/cmus/cmus

I have a (comparatively) small collection (20gb), so here is how I do it: I use beets for the organization (https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/main.html) and cmus (https://github.com/cmus/cmus/blob/master/Doc/cmus-tutorial.txt) for playing.
