First off, does anyone know of a pre-existing MPD client written in  
Ruby?

What I’m trying to do is replace mpc (a great little app, but a bit  
limited for what I want to do), along with a few other scripts I have  
had to implement some functionality I wanted. I want to do this all  
within Ruby itself, and wanted to know if there was a library/gem for  
this, or if there is any other info out there I might find helpful.

Thanks in advance.

fwiw: I’m trying to implement mpc in Ruby as a base, then add onto it  
other features (a good search command that could replace mpc listall |  
sed -n -e ‘/somecrap/p’, for instance) I want.
