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

  1. Run ssh [watid]@powernap.csclub.uwaterloo.ca
  2. Run `bluetoothctl`
  3. Type `pairable on` and `discoverable on` into the console to enable pairing and discovery
  4. Connect to `powernap` from your device
  5. Respond yes to all the prompts on the terminal from `powernap`
  6. You should be able to play audio like a normal audio device now

MPD Controls (Deprecated)

To view the keybindings of ncmpcpp, press F1 while it's running. The number keys switch between tabs in it.

  • 1 is current playlist
  • 2 is browsing files
  • 3 is search
  • 4 is browsing the media library
  • 5 is browsing saved playlists, etc.
