In Operation
PMS is designed to let you navigate your music collection in an effective way.
Here’s an image showing PMS in action.
Features include:
- Vim-style look and feel which is not just limited to familiar keybindings.
- Can be configured to consume a very small amount of screen space.
- MPD player controls: play, add, pause, stop, next, prev, volume.
- Highly customizable top bar, tag headers, text styles, colors, and keyboard bindings.
- Fast library search, featuring UTF-8 normalization, fuzzy search, and scoring.
- Select songs by visual mode, manual selection, and specific tags.
- Many forms of tracklist manipulation, such as cut, copy, paste, filter, and sort.
- Config files, tab completion, history, and more.
Summary
There are many strong console-based MPD clients. While PMS offers a reasonable set of features, it’s outclassed in almost all areas by ncmpcpp, ncmpy, and ncmpc.
PMS’s development was in hiatus for many years. But the project is currently under active development.
