@mauve Yes MPD is fun! I don't use it as my regular audio player, but it's the basis of my alarm clock, and a few other things at work.

@yhancik Snap! How does the alarm clock play into it? Do you have a script that plays a specific file? Does it resume playback of your previous tracks when it finishes?

@mauve it's really basic, i just use cron to play playlists to peacefully put me to sleep or wake me up. I have a little scrip that uses a TTS to remind me of the time it is (when it's time to wake me up)

MPD can resume playback, there's an option in the settings, i don't remember what's the default

@mauve which means that basically every day before going to bed i'm doing a little crontab -e
