Hey, i'm still looking for my best audio player. At the moment i'm testing MPD with Sonata as Front-end.
Unfortunately, mpd doesn't come with a remote controle system that can be used with my Logitech keyboard. So I managed to write mine.
You'll need Audio::MPD
, which is aviable in Debian with libaudio-mpd-perl
