mpd_control aims to provide a fast, keyboard-driven way to interact with the music play daemon. It uses dmenu to list artists, albums etc. It does not intend to provide a full replacement for graphical mpd-clients.
The usual way to use this script is to bind keyboard-shortcuts to its command line arguments.
-a, --artist search for artist, then album, then title
-t, --track search for a single track in the whole database
-p, --playlist search for a playlist load it
-j, --jump jump to another song in the current playlist
-l, --longplayer search for album, then title
