Sleepy: an usefull Amarok script
Ok ok, I am strange I know. I like to go to sleep listening to music, but I like to stop the music after a while too.
Because of this I run a command before get up from my seat:
$ sleep 20m; amarok -s; exit
Today I was looking for new apps on kde-apps.org when I looked at sleepy.
What’s sleepy? Is an Amarok 2.x script, like the old Nightingale that was for Amarok 1.x.
This script allows you to shutdown/hibernate/suspend the PC after the N song or after N minutes. I love this!
I don’t know why but this script didn’t allow to stop Amarok without shutdown or suspend the PC. I did a patch that add this feature.
Obviously, you can find the PKGBUILD on AUR ;)
EDIT: Author released 0.7.1 which include my patch.
Goodnight!!!

[ncmpc] added lyrics support
Whit ncmpc 0.12 developers added an experimental lyrics screen disabled by default.
Now archers can find this screen in ncmpc 0.15-2 package who I built some hours ago.
ncmpc 0.15 changes include an improved build, updated lyricwiki plugin, fixed bugs, and a tweaked display.
NB. Lyrics plugins need python and/or ruby (depends on which you want to use)
