This manual page documents briefly the simadb_cli commands.

simadb_cli is a command line interface to get and edit users blacklist database used with MPD_sima. The default database file (see the section called “FILES”) can be overridden if you want.

Adding to black list. You can add a single track, an album or an artist to the black list. The element to black list is chosen from the currently playing track. Use --bl_curr_trk to prevent simadb_cli to queue this track, --bl_curr_alb or --bl_curr_art respectively for the album and the artist.

Remember you need access to your MPD server to retrieve information to black list. Defaults are localhost:6600 or found in environment variables but you may set it up from command line:

simadb_cli --bl_curr_art -S mympd.example.org

To black list a specific artist (not currently playing) you can use --bl_ar="Artist name to black list".

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ("-"). A summary of options is included below.

-h, --help
