mpd info screen

A Rust program that displays info about the currently running MPD server.

The window shows albumart (may be embedded in the audio file, or is a "cover.jpg" in the same directory as the song file), a "time-remaining" counter, and the filename currently being played

Issues / TODO

• UTF-8 Non-ascii font support (macroquad is being used to display a window, text, and album art, but doesn't seem to have support for ".ttc" fonts that could render CJK text)
• Support for album art not embedded but in the same directory
