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.
