I use mpd here without any problems. Actually its mpd + iceast because I
stream it from another machine to my laptop running dwm.
{ MODKEY, XK_p, spawn, "sh
~/misc/scripts/oggplay.sh" }, \
{ MODKEY, XK_q, spawn, "exec pkill
ogg123" }, \
{ MODKEY, XK_period, spawn, "exec mpc next"
}, \
{ MODKEY, XK_comma, spawn, "exec mpc prev"
}, \
These are my keyboard shortcuts. oggplay.sh is a script i wrote that
runs ogg123 to connect to the streaming ogg that icecast uses.

any good way to shorten that cray grep to something more readable w/o using a

Here's what I use in dwm's config.h:
...
{MODKEY,XK_Home, spawn,"exec cmus-remote --pause" }, \
{MODKEY,XK_End, spawn,"exec cmus-remote --stop" }, \

Well the only reason I don't like with all those solutions are the different keyboard layouts out there. Especially qwerty and zxcvb are not ideal, because they differ in nearly all non-US layouts.

Re: [dwm] Console Music poll: cmus/moc/mpd
I use to just use mpg123 and ogg123 directly. Then I noticed that sometimes mpg123 had problems with playlists, so I wrote a simple C program that would list all the urls in a pls file. The user chose the url and then called mpg123. Yet mpg123 didn't have any caching or anything of audio streams. Enter mplayer. This is one of the main reasons why I use mplayer. Mplayer has caching which is excellent for streaming internet radio. That plus if you have any video files you can still play the file from a tty and send the video output to null. As far as server-client programs go I tried icecast and liked it between Slackware and Debian. Yet I haven't used that situation much since I'm a college student and don't have a lot of money to be running an 'always-on' server that eats up electricity.

I started with `mpd/ncmpc' but didn't liked the client/server-approach Then used `moc' (mocp on Debian) for a while, but it was quite unstable with adding large music directories over samba. So I switched to `cmus' which was smaller though more featureful than moc ... but as I realized, that I only used few of the features, I dropped it Finally I got stuck with `cplay' which I guess is one of the smallest music players with playlist support and so. It is only a wrapper for mpg123/mpg321/ogg123/... It just uses whatever player it finds. I feel perfectly comfortable with it and don't see any need to change again :-)
