MPD(1) Music Player Daemon MPD(1)

NAME

mpd - MPD documentation

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). The daemon stores info about all available music, and this
info can be easily searched and retrieved. Player control, info
retrieval, and playlist management can all be managed remotely.

MPD searches for a config file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpd/mpd.conf then
~/.mpdconf then ~/.mpd/mpd.conf then /etc/mpd.conf or uses CONF_FILE.
