 1 | # ncmpcpp-with-cover-art
 2 | Setup for displaying cover art in ncmpcpp.
 3 | 
 4 | ## Dependencies
 5 | - `tmux`           (to encapsulate everything in one window)  
 6 | - `inotify-tools`  (for changing album art when switching songs)  
 7 | - `ueberzug`       (for image rendering)  
 8 | - `ffmpeg`         (used in scaling the album art)  
 9 | - `mpc`            (cli client for MPD)  
10 | 
11 | ## Install
12 | Drop all the files in your `.ncmpcpp` directory and add this into your `.bashrc`:
13 | ```
14 | alias music='tmux new-session -s $$ "tmux source-file ~/.ncmpcpp/tsession"'
15 | _trap_exit() { tmux kill-session -t $$; }
16 | ```
17 | Set your `$MUSIC_DIR` env variable to contain your music directory.
18 | 
19 | Run it with `music`.
