NAME

       mpfade - fade mpd volume in or out

SYNOPSIS

       mpfade [minutes] [max|min] [host]

DESCRIPTION

       mpfade behaves differently depending on whether mpd is playing or not.

       If mpd is not playing (or is paused), it starts it playing at a low volume, and gradually cranks the
       volume up to the specified max value (default 50) over the specified number of minutes (default 10).

       If mpd is already playing, it works in reverse, reducing the volume over time until it's a the specified
       min (defaults to a tenth of what it was at the start). Then it stops playing.

       mpfade tries to interact well with manual volume changes you make. If the volume is fading up, and you
       change the volume manually, it stops. This is intended to be useful when used as an alarm clock. If the
       volume is fading down, changes you make to the volume will be noticed, and the fade down will continue
       from that point.

       The minutes value can be a floating point value. If the hostname is omitted, the MPD_HOST environment
       variable will be used.
