Configuration in .emacs needed even when installed from melpa

[GregorZattler]

I installed mingus from melpa. I have to have (autoload 'mingus "mingus" nil t) in my .emacs otherwise function mingus is void.

And without (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/where/mingus/resides") nothing happens with M-X mingus (as opposed to (mingus) C-x C-e in scratch buffer).

Is this as it should be?

Thanks, "mingus" is a great name for a mpd client.

Hi Gregor,

Thanks for your report.

I added an ;;;###autoload magic comment to the file just now. I think this should do the trick once Melpa has updated this package.

I upgraded today and it indeed does work now without customization. Thank you.

Actually mpd is startet at system startup. If there was no other interaction with mpd before M-x mingus does nothing, but M-x mingus-browse works. Only later if mpd does not play music M-x mingus shows the mingus browser. This is documented in the help text but in the Getting Started section on line 126. Perhaps it should be more prominent? Or Mx mingus should start mingus-browse if nothing else would happen?

Anyways: Thanks for mingus, it helps me a lot since I was not able to tame EMMS.

Ciao, Gregor

M-x mingus always opens the Mingus buffer, which is the playlist buffer. M-x mingus-browse opens the Mingus Browser buffer.

I do not want to open the browser buffer when the playlist is empty, as this would be confusing in my opinion, but perhaps showing some message could be nice (such as "press 1 for help, 3 to select music"). Have to give this some more thought though.
