NAME

WMmp - A dockapp to interface with mpd

SYNOPSIS

WMmp [options]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the WMmp command.

WMmp is a dockapp to interface and control mpd. It is a dockapp that is supported by X window managers such as Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, and Enlightenment.

The song title and time is displayed in the top half. The controls are in the bottom half and reflect settings on mpd. It has an LCD look-alike user interface. The back-light may be turned on/off by clicking the mouse button 3 (right) over the application.
You must set the MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT environment variables to run WMmp. (If you use a password to contact mpd, set MPD_HOST to "password@host".)
