If you have mpc then with some scripting you can use Vifm as your music player!
Requirements and Reccomendations
- The most recent version of mpc, preferably compiled from github.
- fzf: Fuzzy search finder that makes life easier.
- Python 3 with the python-mpd2 package installed. (OPTIONAL)
You can use older versions of mpc and still get 99% of the functionality, but certain mappings will have to be adjusted for displaying the current status. The python dependency is only for if you want to sort or edit your playlist with a terminal-based text editor on-the-fly. What's nice about it is that if the new, edited playlist contains the same song you were just listening to, then it will immediately jump to were you left off and continue playing. Make sure that you set the shell variables at the beginning here to their appropriate locations on the harddrive.
Vifm mappings and Commands
Simply copy and paste this into your vifmrc:

Playlist Editor Script
Copy and paste the following into your $VIFM/scripts
folder or somewhere in your $PATH
as mpc_edit.py
:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
import tempfile
from mpd import MPDClient
# Options
editor = os.environ['EDITOR']
# Amount (in seconds) to rewind when reloading the playlist
setback = 4
# Startup
client = MPDClient()
client.connect("localhost", 6600)
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile('w+') as tmpf:
tmpf.writelines((song['file']+'\n' for song in client.playlistid()))
tmpf.seek(0)
old_playlist = [song.strip() for song in tmpf.readlines()]
# Ensure that the file has been written to disk
tmpf.flush()
os.system("{} {}".format(editor, tmpf.name))
tmpf.seek(0)
new_playlist = [song.strip() for song in tmpf.readlines()]
if new_playlist != old_playlist:
# Save the status right before we change things:
current_song = client.currentsong()['file']
elapsed = float(client.status()['elapsed'])
client.clear()
for song in new_playlist:
client.add(song)
# Check if the song we were listing to is in the new playlist
try:
new_pos = [song['file'] for song in
client.playlistid()].index(current_song)
except ValueError:
pass
else:
client.seek(new_pos, elapsed-setback if elapsed>setback else 0)
This allows you to edit the current playlist by tying rmE
if you have the optional dependencies installed.
A video showcasing most of the features is here.
