<title>The State File</title>
<para>
The <emphasis>state file</emphasis> is a file where
<application>MPD</application> saves and restores its state
(play queue, playback position etc.) to keep it persistent
across restarts and reboots. It is an optional setting.
</para>
<para>
<application>MPD</application> will attempt to load the
state file during startup, and will save it when shutting
down the daemon. Additionally, the state file is refreshed
every two minutes (after each state change).
