(And opening up projects in Projucer and saving out something wasn't an all to commonly required build step)
I would encourage interested folk to check out DPF and/or come hang out in #lad and #lv2 on Freenode.
There are a limited number of binary LV2 bundles available for Windows n macOS. That number has been slowly increasing, though just a fraction of LV2 use CV ports so far, but it is early days yet.

And there's an Android app that works as a remote, and it can http stream, nice.
Thanks! So long (for now) mpd..
To be clear, because I've been searching years for this, the main differences are that you are using a shuffled playlist rather than an ordered playlist that is sometimes on shuffle mode, you have to move away from the playlist view to find the album to queue, if you have a shuffled playlist of all files available then you are duplicating files into that playlist to get an ordered selection at the end of the playlist (though you do say you have consume mode on which is a further step away in difference), and you will have to reset the playlist from scratch to get back to a state of having one copy of all files in the playlist.
(I am now wondering how to add files to the top of the playlist (rather than the bottom) in ncmpcpp though :)
As I remember it, in Winamp you load a playlist from the media library (in my case usually all files), and then within that playlist you can use JTFE to select a file to play next. That file in the playlist gets a number [1] next to it and is played next, regardless of whether shuffle is on or not. Any number of tracks in the playlist can be queued like this, each getting a respective queue number next to that tracks entry in the playlist line, and afterward the queue is finished Winamp returns to the standard playback ordering.
So I can have a playlist of all files on shuffle, decide to queue up a specific album or two, and after that it goes back to random shuffle without me having to reset the playlist from scratch.
This ad-hoc playlist-within-a-playlist is also visible within it's own dialog box if so desired.
(I'm starting to wonder how different the abstractions ncmpcpp use compared to mpd, or if it's just a naming thing.)
Edit: or, IIRC, instead of the JTF queue method, you can just immediately jump to a file in a playlist, and after playing that, Winamp returns to the previous spot. I need to make a screencast of this because there's apparently no videos of the functionality around online..

(Bonus points of anyone knows of an MPD client that can make it appear like MPD has this feature? ;)
Unfortunately every "open with.." solution I tried though took 10-15 seconds to open the video in mpv, which turned out to be even more frustrating than the problem.
I tried FF PiP recently, but I have "bspwm config honor_size_hints true" and that makes the window resize itself until it's the size of a postage stamp.
The above is a known bug in FF, though apparently fixed in FF73: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1600414
More UX anecdote; I use Arch (btw) but trying Manjaro just now for something so I grabed an image from osboxes.org; the system update fails after hitting enter on the default options https://i.imgur.com/OTNRMrH.png
'y' for the last would have continued things, but "ugh, I have to think about something" is breakage to some.
