About
scmpc is a client for MPD which submits your tracks to Last.fm.
”Another one?”, I hear you cry? Yes, I know about mpdscribble, but when I started this project it didn’t do entirely what I wanted it to. It didn’t run as a daemon, for example, and it didn’t work if you enable crossfading in MPD. I didn’t add the support for these in mpdscribble, partly because GNU coding style scares me, and I got slightly lost in the source code, but also because I created this as a way of teaching myself C programming.
Features
- Can be run as a daemon, either as a user or as root.
- Keeps unsubmitted songs in a queue which is saved to a file at a configurable interval.
- Will try to reconnect to MPD and Audioscrobbler if the network connection fails.
- Works with a password-protected MPD server.
- Works when crossfading is enabled.
News
scmpc-0.4.1 has been released! And was moved!
This is just a bugfix release! See NEWS and ChangeLog for changes. Note that this version now requires libmpdclient-2.3 (down from 2.4 in 0.4.0). Also, since github no longer allows file hosting, the downloads were moved to bitbucket

scmpc-0.2.2 has been released!
This fixes a couple of bugs and adds a password_hash which accepts an md5-hash of your password for people who don’t like their passwords to be in clear text in configs. Thanks to Bart Trojanowski for that feature!
scmpc-0.2.1 has been released!
This is a bugfix and code cleanup release.
scmpc-0.2.0 has been released!
scmpc has been more-or-less completely rewritten for this version. It corrects all sorts of bugs, and makes the program behave more sensibly all round. No new features though, since I don’t know what features anyone else wants…
scmpc-0.1.1 has been released!
This contains some bugfixes, and should hopefully fix the problems with files getting created with 000 permissions.
