Usage
mpdevil is created to be easy to use with as few mouse clicks as possible. But it is also fully controllable with just a keyboard.
This button simply resets the Artist list and Album list to show the album of the current playing title.
This button is a toggle button. If activated it'll open up a independent Search window. If pressed again the Search window gets closed.
Right after entering a search request the results are shown based on matches in any tag of the songs. By left clicking on a song all songs but the current playing one will be removed from the playlist and the clicked song is appended. (alternatively press 'p' on the keyboard) Middle click just appends the song to the end of the playlist. (alternatively press 'a' on the keyboard) Double click clears the entire playlist and directly plays the selected song. (alternatively press 'enter')
If you select any other than 'all genres' only artists and albums with the specified genre will be visible.
By clicking on an artist all albums of this artist will be shown in the Album list. (alternatively press 'enter') By simply start typing an interactive search gets active. It'll select the first artist witch exactly starts with the search string. When you found the desired artist just press enter which will make the search entry disappear and show all albums of the selected artist.
Left click ('p' key), Middle click ('a' key) and Double click ('enter') will have the exact same effect as in the Search window, besides the fact that it will refer on whole albums instead of just single songs. Right click opens an Album dialog. (alternatively press 'menu' key)
An Album dialog displays all songs of a specific album in a list. The list of songs behaves exactly as the list of results in the Search window. (clicks and key presses) The 'Add' button on the bottom of the window will just append the whole album to the playlist. The 'Play' button does exactly the same as double clicking on the displayed album. The 'Open' button behaves like a Left click on the displayed album.
A simple Left click will immediately play the selected song. A Middle click removes the song from the playlist. Pressing 'del' will remove the current selected song. To select a song without playing, just use the arrow keys or the right mouse button.
You can move the slider around until you find the right position, when the mouse button is released the current song will be seeked to the selected position. By clicking on the time labels aside the progress bar the song gets seeked in 10sec interval. A Left click will move the slider closer to the clicked label. A right click will move the slider away from the clicked label.
