Music Player Daemon

Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a server that allows remote access for playing audio files (Ogg-Vorbis, FLAC, MP3, Wave, and AIFF), streams (Ogg-Vorbis, MP3) and managing playlists. Gapless playback, buffered output, and crossfading support is also included. The design focus is on integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides control for music playback over a TCP/IP network. The goals are to be easy to install and use, to have minimal resource requirements (it has been reported to run fine on a Pentium 75), and to remain stable and flexible.

The daemon is controlled through a client which need not run on the same computer mpd runs on. The separate client and server design allows users to choose a user interface that best suites their tastes independently of the underlying daemon (this package) which actually plays music.

Currently supported clients include: 

 - mpc: a command-line client ideal for scripting
 - gmpc: a GNOME/GTK 2.2 graphical client
 - mpdcon.app: a controller for GNUstep (MPDCon)
 - glurp: a GTK 2.4 graphical client
 - ncmpc: an ncurses-based console interface
