VIPL(1)

🎀 VIPL — bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is vipl, a lil tool from the vipl manual, and it's genuinely one of my faves 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

vipl — edit your mpd playlist, but make it a vibe 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vipl [host]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, listen. vipl lets you edit the mpd playlist using your text editor. it's giving "just open it and go off." the current playlist gets brought up in your editor, and then you can delete or rearrange songs however you want, using the editor. yes, literally just your editor. iconic. ✨

you can also type in the name of a playlist, or even just part of the name of an album, an artist, or a song. anything that matches gets added to the playlist. streaming urls? also fair game, drop those in too 🌈

if the perl String::Approx module is available, it will be used to handle typos and stuff in the names you enter. so if you fumble the spelling, it might still catch you 🫶

the song that's currently playing is marked with a ">" at the front. want to change what's playing? just move the ">" to a different song. main character energy, honestly 👑

if the hostname is omitted, the MPD_HOST environment variable will be used. periodt.
