Initial commit This is mostly sdtui code ported over from GLib to liberty, with some MPD code from desktop-tools. It tracks the current song and that's it.

======
Add an X11 user interface This is meant to exactly mimic the terminal UI, just without the restriction to ugly monospace fonts. The Curses implementation has been reworked, and may have become more computationally expensive. In general, though, the codebase has been significantly cleaned up.

'nncmpp' is yet another MPD client. Its specialty is running equally well in
the terminal, or as an X11 client--it will provide the same keyboard- and
mouse-friendly interface.
This project began its life as a simplified TUI version of Sonata. I had
already written a lot of the required code before, so I had the perfect
opportunity to get rid of the unmaintained Python application, and to make
the first TUI client that doesn't feel awkward to use.

If it's not obvious enough, the name is a pun on all those ridiculous client
names, and should be pronounced as "nincompoop".

Most stuff is there. I've been using the program exclusively for many years.
Among other things, it can display and change PulseAudio volume directly
to cover the use case of remote control, it has a fast spectrum visualiser,

and both its appearance and key bindings can be customized.
Add ability to control PulseAudio volume I know, son, it might be hard to accept, but you're imported. Your true parents are wmstatus and paswitch, from the desktop-tools family. Also, fix unnecessary linking of optional dependencies.

Note that currently only the filesystem browsing mode is implemented,
and the search feature is known to be clumsy.

$ mkdir nncmpp/build
$ cd nncmpp/build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
$ make
To install the application, you can do either the usual:
# make install
Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
$ cpack -G DEB
# dpkg -i nncmpp-*.deb

User interface caveats
----------------------
The ncurses interface aspires to be as close to a GUI as possible. Don't shy
away from using your mouse (though keyboard is also fine). Terminals are,
however, tricky to get consistent results on, so be aware of the following:
Update README

- use a UTF-8 locale to get finer resolution progress bars and scrollbars
- Xterm needs `XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true` for the default bindings to work
- urxvt's 'vtwheel' plugin sabotages scrolling

The X11 graphical interface is a second-class citizen, so some limitations of
terminals carry over, such as the plain default theme.

License
-------
Relicense to 0BSD, update mail address I've come to the conclusion that copyright mostly just stands in the way of software development. In my jurisdiction I cannot give up my own copyright and 0BSD seems to be the closest thing to public domain. The updated mail address, also used in my author/committer lines, is shorter and looks nicer. People rarely interact anyway.
