Davis

Davis is an MPD client for music lovers.

Features

Davis displays detailed metadata

Davis displays any metadata you like! The performers, conductor, ensemble, work, movement, recording location, etc., can all be displayed so long as it's in your tags:

Davis supports album art

Davis can fetch album art directly from MPD, using the albumart command of the MPD protocol. This means that davis can fetch album art even from remote MPD instances, and does not need to know the location of your music directory. With a custom subcommand (here davis-cur), it is also possible to display the album art as sixel graphics in the terminal:

Davis understands classical music

Davis will group your queue by work, and displays movement tags instead of title:

Custom subcommands

See the manual for details on how to add new subcommands.
