Question: Can play music on Terminal?
Answer: Absolutely Yes!
Package can run music on Terminal#
MPD "(music player daemon) is an audio player that has a server-client architecture. It plays audio files, organizes playlists and maintains a music database, all while using very few resources. In order to interface with it, a separate client is needed." Source Arch Wiki
Ncmpcpp "is an mpd client (compatible with mopidy with a UI very similar to ncmpc, but it provides new useful features such as support for regular expressions for library searches, extended song format, items filtering, the ability to sort playlists, and a local filesystem browser. To use it, a functional mpd must be present on the system since ncmpcpp/mpd work together in a client/server relationship." Source Arch Wiki
Mpc "is a command-line client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD). It connects to a MPD and controls it according to commands and arguments passed to it. If no command is given, the current status is printed (same as "mpc status")." Source
