💖 GBEMOL(1) — the girlies' guide to the graphical MPD frontend 💖

okay bestie, so this is gbemol, and it lives in section 1 of the General Commands Manual — that's the "general commands" girlies, we're in the big leagues now. she's a whole graphical frontend, so buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

like. she's the pretty face on top of your music daemon. the vibe. the moment. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gbemol [-mclphf]

that's it. that's the whole thing. look at her being concise. no cap. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so gbemol is a graphical frontend for the Music Player Daemon (MPD), and she's written in C and she's using the GTK+ toolkit. the whole point? letting you use MPD with a user-friendly interface instead of, y'know, screaming into a terminal like it's 1997. honestly iconic of her 🫶

and the features?? bestie. let me list them because they ate:

  • an easy-to-use, tag-oriented library browser — tags, not folders, we stan a structured queen
  • a two mode playlist
  • cover art support — but APIC tag only, for now (she said for now, so watch this space 👀)
  • system tray icon docking — she can vibe quietly in your tray, lowkey, minding her business
  • song, album and artist information — all the lore about what you're playing 💜
