## NAME

mpinsert - insert song after currently playing song

## SYNOPSIS

mpinsert \[-n\] \[song ...\]

## DESCRIPTION

If no songs are specified on the command line, it will read a list from stdin.

Songs may be specified the same as they would be to mpc add: As paths to files in the music database, or urls to stream.

You can also enter the name of a playlist, or part of the name of an album, artist, or song. Matching items will be added to the playlist.

(If the perl String::Approx module is available, it will be used to handle typos, etc in the names you enter.)

## OPTIONS

- \-n

  Print the playlist position number that the first song was inserted at.

- \-p

  Play the song after inserting it.
