Is it not? May I ask if there is a specific reason?
I will admit I also use mpv like my default video player, but it still is my default audio player and use it like one, with playlists and stuff like that ;)
A dedicated music player would not just play the file, but could organize, show album covers, etc. I don’t use one, like you I use mpv for pretty much everything.
Kind of splitting hairs there imo. MPV does show the album art if it is on the audiofile metadata for example. I think cmus would fail to be a dedicated music player given your definition.
It still clearly does all the “…,etc” that I mentioned. I don’t have skin in this game. I think of a “dedicated audio player” as one that as, uh, dedicated to playing audio. cmus and the like sure fit that. I think of things that can play audio, but don’t do much else, like mpg123, mpv, vlc, et. al, as not falling into that category. Not that they have issues playing audio. Just a design thing.

Thx, I had not considered those aspects.
