mpc: Play next song.

The command "mpc next" is used in the context of the Music Player Daemon (MPD) and is typically used in the terminal or command line interface to control the playback of music.

The "mpc" stands for Music Player Client, which is a command-line utility that communicates with the MPD server.

"next" is a subcommand of "mpc" that tells the MPD server to skip to the next track in the playlist. This command is used when you want to move to the next song in the queue or playlist that is being managed by the MPD server.

By executing the "mpc next" command, the MPD server will immediately stop the current song and start playing the next song in the list.
