Music is run off `powernap`, since that's the computer with the speakers attached.
Office staff/termcom/syscom permissions are required to play music in the office.
We also have MPD available, however this method is deprecated and is no longer the recommended method to play music.
How to play music
- Run
ssh [watid]@powernap.csclub.uwaterloo.ca - Run `bluetoothctl`
- Type `pairable on` and `discoverable on` into the console to enable pairing and discovery
- Connect to `powernap` from your device
- Respond yes to all the prompts on the terminal from `powernap`
- You should be able to play audio like a normal audio device now
MPD Controls (Deprecated)

Termcom Info
- We require https://github.com/hrkfdn/mpdas to get scrobbling working as it "official" last.fm integration was removed from mpd in 2013.
- To control the mixer on other terminals, use
PULSE_SERVER=nullsleep pavucontrol - The official last.fm account credentials are stored in the exec password spot :)
