Simple dmenu frontend for MPD.

Arguments

Pass mpdmenu arguments first, followed by any dmenu arguments. They are separated by ::. For example:

mpdmenu -p :: -sb '#000000'

There are 2 types of arguments, "search" arguments and "mode" arguments:

Mode Arguments

-l - library mode (default), used to search through your library

-p - playlist mode, used to select a track from the current playlist (search arguments have no effect here)

-c - enables mpd's consume mode

Search Arguments

-a - search by artist tag

-A - search by albumartist tag

-al- search by album tag

-g - search by genre tag

-t - search by title tag

Order of Arguments

While mode and search arguments can be added in any order, the order of the search arguments is important as they are processed in order. For example, if you wanted to search through your library in the flow:

genre -> albumartist -> album -> title

You would call mpdmenu -g -A -al -t. Any input you give in the view of a previous tag will restrict your search in the next tag (unless the [ANY] option is chosen). If no search arguments are passed, mpdmenu will just add all your music to the playlist.
