• launch command will forcefully kill all rpd instances and restart a new one

• info supports an optional format argument that can contain specifiers related to the current player information. An example usage:

    $ fmc info 'Status: %u; Artist: %a; Title: %t'
    Status: pause; Artist: 菅野よう子; Title: アイモ O.C.
  

  To support backslash sequences, add a dollar sign in front of the argument

    $ fmc info $'Status: %u\nArtist: %a\nTitle: %t'
    Status: pause
    Artist: 菅野よう子
    Title: アイモ O.C.
