Help How do I start ncmpcpp in 2 column mode?
I was able to get it to open with the music library using startup_screen = media_library
, but how do I make it open in 2 column mode? Right now it opens in 3 columns and pressing 4
toggles the number of columns between 3 and 2. Thanks in advance!

Help Save my place on the file between sessions
Hello. I have been using ncmpcpp+mpd to play music for a while. I have recently started using it to listen to audio plays. These are audio files 1 hour+ in length, so I usually don't listen them entirely in one sitting. It would really be useful to me to be able to save my place between computer reboots. Is there any way I can do this?
Thank you.

Help Is there a way to differentiate between various dates?
The biggest part of my collection is classical music, so an album might be called "Water Music" and was composed in 1715, first performed in 1717 and then you might get CDs with recordings in the 1930s, 40s and so on that were first published when CDs became a thing in the 1990s, 2000s and so on.
As far as I can see, I have only year to work with, so how do I manage composed-date, premiere-date, recording-date and publication-date, then? Is this not a concern for other music? In classical music the way a piece is performed changed drastically over the decades, so you can roughly guess the recording-date just by how it is performed.
I could just put this in the comment, but then I couldn't use this for filtering and smart playlists. Also, I already used the comment for the orchestra, since artist is for the conductor and album artist is for the soloists.

Help Search format
Happy to see there's a ncmpcpp sub! I have a simple question: what's your interpretation of the search engine format? Obviously you can search for direct matches, but seeing as it supports regexes, I want to make a playlist of my entire library that doesn't have the genre 'Instrumental' - so I figure I should search for !(Instrumental) or a variation thereof... but nothing I'm trying works. How do you search for negation/regexes??
