  1. I love how the "Similar Songs" feature in GMPC (a music player) works with most of my songs, but just says "Unavailable" when listening to Experimental Ambient or Noise.

      1. @cavatina Gnome Music Player Client. It's a client for MPD (Music Player Daemon).

          1. @cavatina Music Player Daemon is an server for playing music. You install it on your PC and it then broadcasts music in the ways you want it to. Either over your preferred sound system, ShoutCast, IceCast, a built-in HTTP server or multiple of those. It uses a very minimal amount of resources, and you use a client to manage what it does with music. I personally have mine set up to both play locally over OSS (Open Sound System) and broadcast over HTTP so, whenever my computer is on, I can always listen to my music. To make sure it's always playing, I have another daemon running to keep the playlist 20 items long at any time.

              2. @cavatina A daemon is a background process that waits for other processes or programs to tell it what to do. It generally doesn't do anything out of itself.
