Rename GMPC?

People still think when seeing “Gnome Music Player Daemon” that gmpc depends on 1002 gnome libraries, where in real-life gmpc is purely gtk based.

Should I rename gmpc? suggestions:

  • NGBMPC: Not Gnome Based Music player client
  • GMPC: Gtk Music Player Client

    I’m all for “Gtk music player client”, since it is hardly even a rename if it stays as gmpc.

    At least GTK Music Player Client. But that’s probably not ideal as people will keep using GNOME Music Player Client. Sonata has a nice name, I like something in that style :)

    changing program name is always tricky thing todo.
    It will probably just stay Gnome Music Player Client, and still people won’t user it because it “depends” on gnome.
