mpd (Music Player Daemon) Music Player Daemon (MPD) allows remote access for playing music (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Mod, MIDI, and wave files) and managing playlists. MPD is designed for integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides control for music playback over a local network. It also makes a great desktop music player, especially if you are a console junkie, like frontend options, or restart X often. Some optional and important dependencies, detected automatically: * libshout: enables shoutcast streaming output * libmms: used for playing mms:// and mmsh:// type network streams * avahi: add support for discovering services on network * yajl: add support for open soundcloud.com streams * Sphinx: used to generate man pages for mpd(1) and mpd.conf(5) Other optional dependencies, detected automatically: libmpdclient, musepack-tools, faad2, libsidplay2, twolame, libnfs, jack, zziplib. NOTE: Be sure to edit the config file (/etc/mpd.conf or ~/mpd.conf) before running the daemon.
