bmpc is a Music Player Daemon (MPD) written in BASH. It uses a BASH socket to connect over TCP to your MPD server and executes commands with a nice output.
As of right now, the only way to get bmpc is by cloning in this git repository at https://github.com/KittyKatt/bmpc.git .
To run bmpc, open a terminal and cd to the cloned git repository
directory. Then, just ./bmpc COMMAND to use it. Alternatively,
you can move bmpc into your $PATH somewhere and use it without the
./ for current directory execution.
Here's the current output of bmpc -h:
help | -h | --help Display this help.

prev Jump to previous song on playlist.
pause Pause current playback.
