Thanks; that looks like a great starting point. One way of doing this
would be to define/borrow a simple key/value db protocol, build/borrow
a server that would speak this db protocol, but with the back end
being your music library. Then the front end could just be a
completely generic visual db ed
I started on a project a while ago that may be a helpful starting
point. It is a daemon written in C that watches a directory with
inotify ("~/Music" by default), tracks metadata about music files in a
sqlite3 database, and responds to HTTP queries about artists and
authors with JSON. It fits my

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Hello,
as for question 4,
I use Cmus and I am quite happy with it.
Based on ncurses like Midnight Commander.
It has 5 different views (Album/Artist, Library, Playlist, Play Queue, Browser).
No tag editor, no database operations.
You can also control it by cmus-remote command.
Here is my .conkyrc
mpd is actually about 50% orthogonal to what I want to do. It
maintains a database in order to play files. I'm pretty OK with the
actual players out there. The primary purpose here is not playing
music but managing and editing the metadata associated with music
files; I just threw in the call-an-ex
The reason all the existing solutions are so sucky is that they try to
solve too many problems. I think that if you deconstruct what you want
this program to do, the concept falls apart a little.
I'm not sure how "suckless" it is in terms of the code - for all I know
it's a maintainers' nightmare
