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.
