Issues

• q' interrupts only playback of current file; press and hold ctrl-C to skip.
  Even if you skip file immediately with Enter or 'q' it will scrobble

Deamon

• There is also a version that works like a deamon in the Deamon directory, it has a lot more prerequisites but is more efficient and has extra features and is less tested see Readme.md in the Daemon directory for details.
• Allows going to the previous track.
• Allows saving volume settings.
• Allow printing of current track info.
