Probably as part of --play.

Do you have a tool in mind for this? If not I can eventually resolve https://github.com/Tmplt/fuzzywuzzy/issues/6.

No I didn't at all! I think your tool looks interesting but I've always tried to design mpvc with the absolute minimum of tools to achieve tasks - I hadn't even looked at using a shell json phaser like jq. I think this issue might be best resolved by people using their own separate fuzzy finders like fzf and then pipe the input to mpvc add. I could do with figuring a basic solution out and then adding to the readme. Thanks for reminding me of this though! But that still doesn't solve the issue for existing tracks. hmm

Currently, fuzzy string search is provided by fzf in mpvc-fzf, and, is explained in https://gmt4.github.io/mpvc/logbook.html#logbook-20221227. So I think this can be closed as completed, thx.
