Avuton Olrich 04561b604b Huge mpdconf update.
Over time mpdconf has evolved and has been maintained and contributed to by many different folks at different
times. Try to give it some unity. Attempt to clear up some language and make things crystal clear. Add more
examples. Use tabs when it makes sense. Make better borders. Remove obsolete options. Try to put more defaults
when it makes sense.

# An example configuration file for MPD
# See the mpd.conf man page for a more detailed description of each parameter.
# Required files and directories ##############################################
#
# From this directory MPD will discover the available audio files and add them
# to the daemon's online database.
#
music_directory "~/music"
#
# This is the MPD internal playlist directory. This directory is not intended
# for preexisting playlists which were not created by MPD.
#
playlist_directory "~/.mpd/playlists"
#
# This is the database file. This holds MPDs audio file locations when the
# daemon is down.
#
db_file "~/.mpd/database"
#
# The log files for the daemon. Great for troubleshooting, depending on your
# log_level.
#
log_file "~/.mpd/log"
error_file "~/.mpd/error-log"
###############################################################################
# Optional files ##############################################################
#
# This file is required for mpd --kill, and some init script, usage.
#
#pid_file "~/.mpd/pid"
#
# This file contains information about most variables to get MPD back into the
# same general shape it was in before it was brought down. This file must be
# specified to utilize this feature.
#
#state_file "~/.mpd/state"
#
###############################################################################
# General music daemon options ################################################
#
# If the user option is set, MPD will attempt to drop root privileges when it
# begins. Otherwise, MPD will run as root, which is not recommended.
#
#user "nobody"
#
# The address for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention should be paid
# if this is assigned to anything other then the default, any. This option can
# deny access to control of the daemon.
#
# For network
#bind_to_address "any"
#
# And for Unix Socket
#bind_to_address "~/.mpd/socket"
#
# The port that is desired for the daemon to get assigned to.
#
#port "6600"
#
# Controls the type of information which is logged. Available options are
# "default", "secure" or "verbose". The verbose option recommended
# for troubleshooting, though can quickly stretch available resources on
# limited hardware.
#
#log_level "default"
#
# If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that
# you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves
# the problem, it is highly recommended to fix the MP3 files with vbrfix
# (available from <http://www.willwap.co.uk/Programs/vbrfix.php>), at which
# point gapless MP3 playback can be enabled.
#
#gapless_mp3_playback "yes"
#
# Enable this have MPD create playlists in a format usable by other music
# players.
#
#save_absolute_paths_in_playlists "no"
#

# Optionally, comments can be added to this list.

# configured music_directory.
#

# configured music_directory.
#

# automatically scan for a usable audio output.
#
# See <http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Configuration#Audio_Outputs>
# for examples of other audio outputs.
#
# An example of an ALSA output:

#
#replaygain "album"
#
# Sets the pre-amp used for files that have ReplayGain tags, if enabled.
