Manged to use Emacs as a music player I hate the MusicPD so much. I don't know a lot about music processing (actually, I rembember back then in school, I was very interested in the music processing chapter in signals, but for some reason I don't recall, I gave up it totally), but sometimes baiscally I think that "some" things shouldn't be "that" difficult to get it to work (that's why I think MS' Windows is a horrible OS), and MusicPD is very difficult to get it to work.

My first music player when I used GNU/Linux for the first time was cmus, I still love it. But after time, I think it was that "watershed" in 2021 that made me use Emacs over vim. I couldn't stand simple & minimal music player like cmus (bloat it or burn it😂), I moved to musikcube, and it was just prefect. The only problem was when I cloned my hard disk using Clonezilla, some files got corrupted. So when I had a queue with 500 songs, and the 12th song has a 'lost' byte of data, the whole queue is not going to play after this song is loaded (unless i resume it myself). And from here my suffer began, I moved to various QT music players (Clementine, Amarok, Strawberry, ELissa, etc..). I even used Spotify. I tried ncmpcpp but hell no MPD.

Today I was listening to this song Don't Wanna Leave You Now, Honey, I don't wanna leave you now🎵.

And I realized how much I don't want to leave Emacs. So I told myself with a wojak extied face-mask: damn it I will do that MPD shit. I looked up emms, I thought I would need configuration upon mpd (I accepted my destiny) but just M-x emms worked.

Well, today was not good at all, but I'm glad I can listen to music peacefully again.
