MPD (Music Player Daemon) is, as the name suggests, a server
|
|
software allowing you to remotely play your music, handle
|
|
playlists, deliver music (HTTP STREAMS with various
|
|
sub-protocols) and organizze playlists.
|
|
</para>

<para>
|
|
It has been written with minimal resource usage and stability in
|
|
mind! Infact, it runs fine on a Pentium 75, allowing you to use
|
|
your cheap old PC to create a stereo system!
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
MPD supports also Gapless playback, buffered audio output, and
|
|
crossfading!

<para>
|
|
The separate client and server design allows users to choose a
|
|
user interface that best suites their tastes independently of
|
|
the underlying daemon, which actually plays music!

<title>Installation</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
We recommend that you use the software installation routines of
|
|
your distribution to install MPD. Most operating systems have a
|
|
MPD package, which is very easy to install.

Install the package <filename>mpd</filename> via APT:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>apt-get install mpd</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
When installed this way, MPD by default looks for music in
|
|
/var/lib/mpd/music/; this may not be correct. Look at your
|
|
/etc/mpd.conf file...

<title>Configuring the music directory</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
When you play local files, you should organize them within a
|
|
directory called the "music directory". This is configured in
|
|
MPD with the <varname>music_directory</varname> setting.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
By default, MPD follows symbolic links in the music directory.
|
|
This behavior can be switched off:
|
|
<varname>follow_outside_symlinks</varname> controls whether
|
|
MPD follows links pointing to files outside of the music
|
|
directory, and <varname>follow_inside_symlinks</varname> lets
|
|
you disable symlinks to files inside the music directory.

<para>
|
|
Audio outputs are devices which actually play the audio chunks
|
|
produced by MPD. You can configure any number of audio output
|
|
devices, but there must be at least one. If none is
|
|
configured, MPD attempts to auto-detect. Usually, this works
|
|
quite well with ALSA, OSS and on Mac OS X.

<para>
|

The most basic client is <filename>mpc</filename>, which

scripts. Many people bind specific <filename>mpc</filename>

commands to hotkeys.

<title>The music directory and the database</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The "music directory" is where you store your music files.
|
|
MPD stores all relevant meta information about all songs in
|
|
its "database". Whenever you add, modify or remove songs in
|
|
the music directory, you have to update the database, for
|
|
example with <filename>mpc</filename>:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>mpc update</programlisting>
|
|

<para>

Depending on the size of your music collection and the speed
|
|
of the storage, this can take a while.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
To exclude a file from the update, create a file called
|
|
<filename>.mpdignore</filename> in its parent directory. Each
|
|
line of that file may contain a list of shell wildcards.

The queue (sometimes called "current playlist") is a list of

songs to be played by MPD. To play a song, add it to the

|
queue and start playback. Most clients offer an interface to
|
|
edit the queue.

Plays <ulink url="http://www.spotify.com">Spotify</ulink> tracks using the despotify

You need a Spotify premium account to use this plugin, and you need

to setup username and password in the configuration file. The

configuration settings are global since the despotify playlist plugin

use the same settings.

Sets the device which should be used. This can be

"default", which makes
