💖 QMMP 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about qmmp(1) — yes that's the manual page name, that's the vibe, that's the whole thing. it's an audio player. it plays your songs. that's the main character energy right there 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

qmmp

literally just that. no arguments required. she's low maintenance like that 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this manual page is here to give you the quick rundown on the qmmp command, bestie. short and sweet, no cap.

qmmp is a program that plays audio files. that's it. that's the job. she plays the music. slay 👑
