Debian Tip: get MPD to remember the last played song for all playlists

Hi to all MPD users or those who are willing to use it!

If you don't already know what is MPD, it is the Music Player Daemon, which is very easy to use and has tons of good clients to manage it. It loads all your music collection database instantly (mine is about 50GB!) into the memory, is lightweight and powerful!

One feature many will have already noticed is the inability to save the current position for all your playlists Smilie, what I find essential. I have playlists based on the genre, so I want also the get the position remembered for every time I restart listening to that genre.

We uploaded to Google Code a very easy to use shell script which will do that for you Smilie. We called it "MPD Playlist Saver n' Switcher" or simply mpdpss. Feel free to visit us there and get instructions, report bugs..!

save audio thats being played.

I want to save a song which is being played from internet. I cant find where it gets cached. Im also not sure if the whole sing will remain in the cache while the song finishes. There must be a way using /dev/audio or something. Im not able to figure out. (4 Replies)
