Mpdpss Makes MPD Remember Last Played Song For All Playlists

If you use MPD (doesn't matter which client) and have lots of playlists, it is quite annoying for MPD to never remember what song you've played last in a playlist. But you can make MPD rememeber the last played song for any playlist by using Mpdpss.

Before using mpdpss, you need to install mpc:

sudo apt-get install mpc

Mpdpss can be used both with a GUI or command line:

GUI - enter this in a terminal and a GUI will pop-up:

mpdpss -g

In case you want to use the GUI mode and don't have Zenity installed, install it like so (in Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install zenity

From the command line, the following command will save the current playlist, then it will be cleared and you can load a different playlist. Once a playlist has been save using Mpdpss, the last playing song will be remembered:

mpdpss -s PLAYLIST_NAME

To see Mpdpss in action, I've created a small video (with the command line functionality):

Note: Ncmpcpp MPD client was used in the above video.
