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 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpd/mpd.conf then  ~/.mpdconf  then  /etc/mpd.conf  or
       uses CONF_FILE.
