NAME

       mpskip - emulate a skipping record

SYNOPSIS

       mpskip [num_skips] [duration] [skippos] [host]

DESCRIPTION

       mpskip makes mpd emulate a skipping record.

       If num_skips is not specified (or is 0), it will skip forever (or until
       someone manually seeks past the "bad" part of the song, or changes
       songs).

       The duration is how long the skip should be, in seconds. Floating point
       values can be used.

       The skippos is the number of seconds into the song to place the skip
       point.  Default is the current play position.

       If the hostname is omitted, the MPD_HOST environment variable will be
       used.

LIMITATIONS

       Doesn’t insert the pop you hear on a real record player when the needle
       skips.

       If run against a remote host, it may not skip at exactly the same place
       each time due to network issues.
