USAGE:

Type amp[TAB], you will see the list of supported commands:
 - stop
 - pause
 - start
 - next
 - previous
 - exit
 - repeat
 - shuffle 
Choose the command by typing several letters from it and press Enter.

Type amip[TAB]AMIP_API_COMMAND
where API command is one of the commands listed at:
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/manual/amip#api_commands .

Type play[TAB], you will see the songs in the current playlist, narrow
the search by typing some of the song title letters and press Enter to
play the song or use Up/Down arrows to select the song from the drop-down list.
Note that it may be slow if you have very large playlist, try with a smaller
one first.


TROUBLESHOOTING:

By default AMIP is listening for API commands on port 60333 (localhost).
If this port is taken by some other application, you need to install
AMIP Configurator and change the port to some other in Remote/API tab.

Then open ac.ini and change "port" value to the same number as in AMIP.

Note that you can even control player on another machine. Set port/host
in AMIP Configurator and in ac.ini to the appropriate values.
