Draai is a wrapper around mpc, making playing music from the commandline more
enjoyable. mpc is a client for MPD, the Music Player Daemon. Using draai,
one can play an audiofile (ogg, mp3, flac, whatever your MPD offers), play all
files in a predefined playlist, view details on current, past and future playing
songs, skip to the next song, etc.
Main differences with mpc: draai supports smooth fadeouts, draai can be used as
an alarmclock, draai supports rescheduling a track as the upcoming track, draai
offers fancy status windows. The author uses draai for doing DJ sets in clubs.
The interface is purely command-line. No fancy gui's whatsoever. Not even
curses. Draai consists of just one simple zsh shell script, calling mpc.
Actually, I don't expect many more than one or two users of draai. The
interface is very much tweaked to my own personal taste. Furthermore, there
are a zillion alternatives for draai; everybody seems to be writing her own
playlist manager.
PACKAGES
========
If you're using a Debian or Ubuntu system, install draai by executing
# aptitude update && aptitude install draai
(Debian ships draai since the "squeeze" release.)
There might be draai packages available from non-gnu.uvt.nl too; try:
# echo "deb http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/debian sid draai" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# aptitude update
# curl http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/debian/uvt_key.asc | apt-key add -
# aptitude update && aptitude install draai
to install it from there.

INSTALLATION

For instructions for installation using the tarball (i.e.: not binary packages),
see the file INSTALL.
Special installation information for zsh users:
Draai comes with a zsh completion function, by default installed in
/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions. Make sure this directory is in your
$fpath. If it isn't, you might want to add
_sitecompdir=/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions
[[ -z $fpath[(r)$_sitecompdir] ]] && fpath=($fpath $_sitecompdir)
to your ~/.zshrc.
Run compinit after installation of draai.
USAGE

After installation, running
$ man draai
(or "$ draai --help") gives information on the usage of the draai command-line
tool.

WHAT OUR USERS SAY
==================
As heard once on irc meuknet/#uvt: < jiggel> osjittisstil <- beste naam van een
commandline optie die ik in lange tijd gezien heb :)
HISTORY
=======
The first draai implementation, probably from about 2001, consisted of a bunch
of zsh shell functions. The second draai implementation was in python, calling
ogg123 and mpg321. The first implementation which never made it was in python,
using python-pyvorbis, python-id3 and python-pymad. The second implementation
which never made it was in python, using python-mpdclient / py-libmpdclient.
The current draai implementation, around since 2007, is a zsh shell script,
calling mpc.
