MPINSERT(1)

💖 MPINSERT 💖

okay bestie, so mpinsert is that girl 💅 she's a lil tool from the mpdtoys crew, and her whole job is inserting a song right after whatever's playing rn. no queue-jumping chaos, no full playlist rewrite, just a polite lil "excuse me, coming through" 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mpinsert — insert song after currently playing song

like literally that's it. that's her whole personality. she sneaks a track in directly after the current bop 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mpinsert [-n] [song ...]

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so mpinsert inserts a song (or, bestie, songs, plural, we love a multitasker) into the playlist directly after the currently playing song. not the end. not the top. right. after. the. current. one. periodt 💅

if you don't give her any songs on the command line, she'll just read a list from stdin. no notes, she's flexible like that 🫶

songs get specified the exact same way you'd hand them to mpc add:

• as paths to files in the music database 🍓
• or urls to stream 🌈

you can also type in the name of a playlist, or part of the name of an album, an artist, or a song — and every matching item gets added to the playlist. lowkey magic, highkey useful ✨

and ooh, fun detail: if the perl String::Approx module is available, she'll use it to handle typos and stuff in the names you enter. so go ahead and misspell, she's got you 🙈

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -n — print the playlist position number that the first song was inserted at. receipts! 🧾
• -p — play the song after inserting it. main character energy, immediately 🔥
