# loose collection of scripts related to i3 and i3blocks
## mpd_controller
A set of Python scripts to manage mpd (Music Player Daemon). It uses notify-send to display the current song playing with cover art if embeded in the metadata. Is meant to run as a scritp from i3blocks
but can also be called via the media keys on your keyboard.
### how to use
The main file is **mpd_main.py**, called without arguments, it will just output the current status.
`notify-send` will get called via subprocess, works best with [Dunst](https://dunst-project.org/documentation/) to show current song playing with cover art extracted from metadata.
