+nncmpp
+======
+
+'nncmpp' is yet another MPD client.  It does exactly what I want it to, more
+specifically it's a simplified TUI version of Sonata so that I don't need to
+run an ugly undeveloped Python application.
+
+If it's not obvious enough, the name a pun on all those ridiculous client names,
+and should be pronounced as "nincompoop".
+
+Currently it's under development and doesn't work in any sense yet.
+
+Packages
+--------
+Regular releases are sporadic.  git master should be stable enough.  You can get
+a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR, or from
+openSUSE Build Service for the rest of mainstream distributions.  Consult the
+list of repositories and their respective links at:
+
+https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/home:pjanouch:git
+
+Building and Running
+--------------------
+Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, liberty (included), termo (included) +
+Runtime dependencies: ncursesw, libunistring
+
+ $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/pjanouch/nncmpp.git
+ $ mkdir nncmpp/build
+ $ cd nncmpp/build
+ $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
+ $ make
+
+To install the application, you can do either the usual:
+
+ # make install
+
+Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you.  For Debian it is:
+
+ $ cpack -G DEB
+ # dpkg -i nncmpp-*.deb
+
+Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix `cpack` with
+`fakeroot` or file ownership will end up wrong.
+
+Having the program installed, create a configuration file and run it.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+Create _~/.config/nncmpp/nncmpp.conf_ with contents like the following:
+
+....
+settings = {
+	address = "localhost"
+	password = "<your password>"
+	root = "~/Music"
+}
+colors = {
+	header = "reverse"
+	header_active = "underline"
+	even = "16 231"
+	odd = "16 255"
+}
+....
