It is like vim. There is the mode where you are browsing and tabbing through the music. You can use the arrow keys or vim-like ``j`` and ``k`` to move around. Press ``TAB`` to switch from the artist/album list to the track list. Press enter to start a song.

Type ``:`` to begin entering commands. There is also tab completion.

# Add music from disk
:add ~/Music

# Remove all music from list
:clear

# To play, press `x`, or run commands:
:player-play
:player-pause
:player-stop

To search, type / and enter the phrase. Press n to find next occurrence and SHIFT-n to go backwards.
