Stickers

Rmpc uses MPD’s stickers for some of its functionality like rating, liked status and might use more in the future.

These stickers are simple key-value pairs attached to songs and can be used to store arbitrary data. You must have sticker_file set in your MPD’s configuration to use this functionality.

You can display these stickers using the Sticker("<name>") property.

These stickers aim to be compatible with the Compatible with the growing spec at mpd-stickers.
