Music Player Daemon 0.14.0~alpha2 (Default branch)
11-13-2008
Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a server that allows remote access for playing music in various formats and managing playlists. It makes a great desktop player with frontend options (Qt, GTK, ncurses, Windows, and Web clients are available). It is also appropriate as a console player that is scriptable, and is especially useful if X is restarted frequently. A set of rapid development tools for clients are being developed and include a C library, Python module, PHP class, Perl module, and Java Class. The goals are to be easy to install and use, to have minimal resource requirements, to be stable and flexible, and easy to interface.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:|

MPD - A daemon for playing music SYNOPSIS
mpd [options] [CONF_FILE] DESCRIPTION
MPD is a daemon for playing music. Music is played through the configured audio output(s) (which are generally local, but can be remote).
