the manual page for sats — mpd stop after this song 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

sats — bestie, it literally stands for Stop After This Song 💅 it's the "okay this is the last one, I mean it" of mpd.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sats [-d] [-n num] [host]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: sats is an acronym for Stop After This Song. no cap. 🫶

What it does is it just chills there and waits for playback of the currently playing song to finish. Like, it's not gonna interrupt the vibe, it's not gonna be rude about it. It waits. Patiently. Main character energy but polite. 🌈

And then, once that song is done, it tells mpd to stop playing. periodt. 💀

And if you leave the hostname off? No worries bestie, it'll just use the MPD_HOST environment variable instead. she's resourceful like that ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -d — Daemonize rather than waiting in the foreground for the song to stop playing. it's giving "I'm gonna go do my own thing, text me when it's over" 💅
  • -n num — Stop after num songs (default is 1). so if one song is simply not enough emotional closure for you, you can queue up the whole moment 🍓

lowkey obsessed with the fact that someone wrote a whole tiny program just so the music stops when the song ends. iconic. no notes. 🌸
