Questions tagged [mpd]

For questions about Music Player Daemon (mpd), an audio server on Unix-type systems.

Music Player Daemon (mpd) is an audio server on Unix-type systems. It plays audio files, organizes playlists and maintains a music database.

MPD is designed around a client/server architecture, where the clients and server interact over a network. Thus, running MPD is only half of the equation. To use MPD, you need to install a MPD client (aka MPD interface).
