#52Oh 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.
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 l…
I tag my music through MusicBrainz (https://musicbrainz.org/) and I generally don't have to worry about metadata anymore. I generally try to correct anything I find that's wrong. abcde + picard + ncmpcpp.

Ditto - automatic organisation by metadata might be nice if metadata wasn't universally inconsistent and incomplete. I tried manually fixing my whole library and it was nice for a couple of weeks, but there's so much ongoing maintainence overhead that OS-level folders are the only thing I bother with any more :(
The metadata doesn't even reflect the way I think about music. And what do you do with movie OSTs, which are by ten different artists and some are songs from other albums? It's just madness.

Moc does that. If like me you're not a music player guy you can use mplayer in slave mode, reading from a playlist created with `find | sort`. I made a script to do that and some other stuff. https://gist.github.com/afarah1/e8cbafaf1d9d8029c6ca
Ooh, thanks. I did pretty much the same as you (but in perl) for a while and gave up on it, since I decided like having a UI to my music player.

#55I also recommend mpd + ncmpcpp.

How do I select a specific output plugin? When I try to run cmus on OSX I get an error:
Error: selecting output plugin '': no such plugin
'cmus --plugins' lists a single plugin: ao.

Create a
~/.cmus/rc
set output_plugin=ao

#58I used cmus for a while, but always wanted a user interface more similar to winamp, so I built namp https://github.com/d99kris/namp
Nice work there, that looks pretty good.
I do have one very minor suggestion though; you might want to change your README.md:
> namp is a command line MP3 player for Linux

Create a ~/.cmus/rc file and add set output_plugin=ao that should get it working on OSX.
Thank you! I struggled with that for so long, and ended up installing via brew after giving up on a source build. Weird that even that process didn't set up the rc file properly.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I agree. Terminal, or console-based, player is a more correct description. Will update!
