Nice. I did too: https://github.com/dbro/muss . It's a shell script that coordinates mpc and dmenu. It's got two modes of operation, one for interactive browsing and another for a simple command line search. Some examples:

>muss elvis [queues up all songs that have "elvis" in the artist, album, or track name]

>muss elv pres not jailhouse

>muss lion rich -a -r ["Hello, is it me you're looking for?"]

-a means append to existing playlist, -r means randomize the playlist

>muss

when no arguments are provided, it opens up a very fast search/filter/browse interface using dmenu

Inspiration for this project were plait and the then-new instant search on Google.
