NAME

       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).   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 ~/.mpdconf then /etc/mpd.conf or uses
       CONF_FILE.
