Thanks venam. I've used `mpc` and a bunch of other's that do relatively the same thing. Most recently I tried a tool called Davis which is essentially an mpc clone that focuses on correct tags and metadata for classical music and also has plugins for album cover art. It also incorporates `fzf` which is cool, but I still felt it was beyond what I really need.

Yes, this is quite true, it is very convenient. I guess I just haven't found the right mpc client yet. Years ago I liked pimpd2 by Trapd00r, might give that another go providing it is still maintained.

I use mpd+mpc, and some scripts and tools:
• A script to pop-up a xnotifier window displaying the current song (top right).
• A script to control the song on the desktop right-click menu (bottom).
• A script to list and select the songs of the current playlist on xfilter (top).
• I also use a mpc client in the form of a WindowMaker dockapp (on the right, at the dock):

I'm looking for some mpv script to pause mpd when mpv is playing some video and resume mpd's playlist after. I may write one, but my lua skills are rusty...

Your mpd+mpc setup looks sweet!
And like I've said before, your whole setup is sweet and I honestly think you should (or rather I wish you would) create a preconfigured live image or bundle the build scripts for shod and everything else on your desktop into a pseudo DE ;)
I cant remember what the state of shod on NetBSD was, I never got it working properly. Perhaps after I play with wmutils I'll give it another try.

So I just stumbled across fmui which is by the same guy who made Ueberzug. It is more than a few years old but it suits my needs perfectly.
