💖 MPD-RATE — bestie's guide to rating ur songs 💖

ok so this is mpd-rate, a lil Perl script from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, and it's literally here to help you rate ur songs so that mpd-dynamic can actually use those ratings. it's giving ✨taste-maker✨ energy. no cap.

🌸 VERSION 🌸

this is version 2.004 bestie, we're not on some ancient build, we're current 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the whole point: this program lets you rate your songs, and the reason you'd wanna do that is so that mpd-dynamic can use those ratings. that's it, that's the vibe. you rate, it uses. iconic behavior fr fr 🎀

🎀 USAGE 🎀

the way that you run this is literally:

mpd-rate [options]

that's the whole thing. so simple. so clean. periodt. 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

you can customize the usage of mpd-dynamic with the following options:

  • -r[atings] <ratings> — this is the path to a db file that holds the ratings for each song 🗂️. the keys are the song path (relative to the MPD root, iykyk), and the value is an integer — that integer is the rating. if you don't pass this, it defaults to ~/.mpd/ratings.db 🌈
  • <rating> — this is the actual rating you wanna slap onto the current song. but bestie, listen: if you don't supply one, it'll just print the current rating instead of setting it. so it's a read-or-write situation, choose ur fighter 💀
  • --version
  • --usage
  • --help
  • --man — all four of these print the usual program information. boring but necessary, we love a documented tool 🫶

💌 quick reminder: -r is technically -r[atings], so you can write it short or spell it all the way out — either way the db path goes right after it. and remember the default: ~/.mpd/ratings.db. mwah 🍓

and that's the whole page!! this lil manpage came from perl v5.34.0, dated 2022-06-08, and yes the manual name is MPD-RATE(1p) — section 1p, perl vibes only 💅 bye bestie, go rate some songs 🦋💖
