mpdart
======
A simple mpd client which only displays the cover art for the current song.
mpdart is a simple X application that displays the album art of the currently playing mpd song and lets you toggle play pause. It spends almost all of it's time idle and according to top it uses `0.0%` of my CPU and `0.1%` of my ram.

Usage
-----
There are three flags:
mpdart -d musicdir -h host -p port
mpdart -d musicdir -h host -p port -t timeout # timeout is milliseconds
Though only -d is needed:
mpdart -d ~/music
These options can also be configured in the enviorment variables `MPDART_DIR`, `MPDART_HOST`, `MPDART_PORT`, and `MPDART_TIMEOUT`.
To make these changes persistent, add them to your `~/.profile`.
Once mpdart is running you can press the window to toggle mpd's pause/play.
