I tried it! I liked it. Been on my system for a while now. I probably wont switch from ncmpcpp, but it's a great alternative. I think being so used to ncmpcpp is keeping me from switching to anything different. Like I wish I could search just by hitting / then typing in what I. Then I realize learning a whole new system for a music player isn't something of a high priority after using one thing for 15 years. I love the track screen. That's something I wish ncmpcpp had.
