mpd - MPD documentation
mpd [options] [CONF_FILE]
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
~/.mpd/mpd.conf then
/etc/mpd.conf or
uses
CONF_FILE.
