Advanced Tips

Playlist Name Completion
When using open, view or play to access a playlist, you can enter
the first few characters instead of the whole name. The first alphabetically
matching playlist will be opened / displayed.

Invocation
To play a saved playlist when invoking mps use the following command:

mps play <playlistname>

This also works for other commands, eg:

mps .mozart to search
mps view <playlistname> to view a saved playlist
mps ls to list saved playlists
mps top to list top tracks this week
mps open moz to open a saved playlist called mozart.

Specifying Ranges
When selecting songs for playback, removing or adding you can use 5- to
select song 5 upward and -5 to select up to song 5. This can be included
with other choices so for example: 5,3,7-,-2. You can also use spaces
instead of commas eg. 5 3 7- -2.

Quality / Bitrate
Add +best to a search query to return high bitrate results or +good to
exclude them.

Using MPV instead of MPlayer
If you have mpv installed and want to use that instead of mplayer;
From within mps:
set player mpv
set playerargs --really-quiet --no-video

Other Configuration
To view configuration, enter set and to change any item enter:
set <item> <value>. This can be used to change the download path (DDIR)
and will persist after exiting the program. To reset all settings to default,
use set all default or for a single item, set <item> default
