$ mpd <config file>
(if no config file is specified, mpd's looks for ~/.mpdconf then /etc/mpd.conf)
First default is ~/.mpdconf then /etc/mpd.conf. If neither of these exist
a mpd configuration file must be specified at runtime. A
an example would be:
A sample config file is included with the source of MPD, mpdconf.example.
$ mpd playlists/.mpdconf
A sample config file is included with the source of MPD, mpdconf.example .

music root, recursively. This can be affected by the symlink options
specified in the example mpd.conf.
