I used cmus for a while, but always wanted a user interface more similar to winamp, so I built namp https://github.com/d99kris/namp

#22Oh wow, did not expect this here! I am the current maintainer (not the original author) of cmus, and can answer some questions, if they'll come up.
Not a real question, but a sincere Thank You for the efforts. I believe maintainers should be praised more.

#23Very nice, does it have a music visualiser ?
It would be sick if this could play videos via libcaca too..

#24Some time ago I did complete depart from Apple apps and services, while still using Mac. It was pain to extract all the images from Photos but music transition to cmus was smooth. I am mostly playing di.fm stations and cmus works well with subscription links. Sadly both cmus and mplayer on Mac rely on Carbon components so there is big console warning for using deprecated components and more importantly they can't be…

Carbon components warning is because cmus currently uses libao for the sound output on OS X by default. If somebody will contribute a native OS X output plugin, it will be gone.

Thanks for restarting development and having good releases, with easy to read changelogs! Cmus has been very useful to me.

Another thanks here. I'm between cmus and mocp at the moment due to the segfaulting bug on Debian[0] but might try to compile the latest version from source if these have been squashed upstream...

Please give the latest version a try. I am not aware of any segfaults that have not been fixed upstream. Debian packages a really ancient version of cmus for some reason.

Thanks. I am most probably on exit route from anything Apple or Google so most likely next cmus will be playing on native Linux for me. Off topic but Apple increasingly makes it easier to make such decision.

No questions from me; just appreciation for the work you are doing. Thank you.

One thing I would love to see is a folder-based music view like you have artist/album views.
I don't tag my songs, I just organise them in folders about three levels deep. What I'd like to see is a folder tree of my music folder on the left and all the files in that folder, plus all subfolders recursively, on the right. The only player I remember getting this right was amarok (now clementine). I've never once in my life ever wanted my songs listed by album or artist. I have my file manager to organise my files and they're already organised. It's really silly to ask me to organise them again in a different way that doesn't really fit my organisational style.
