ncmpc is a curses client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD). ncmpc connects to a MPD running on a machine on the local network, and controls this with an interface inspired by cplay. If ncmpc is used with lirc and irpty it can be used to manage playlists and control MPD with a remote control. ncmpc requires libmpdclient (v2), which is available at slackbuilds.org.
