Music Player Daemon (MPD) allows remote access for playing music (MP3,
Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Mod, and wave files) and managing playlists.
MPD is designed for integrating a computer into a stereo system that
provides control for music playback over a local network. It also makes
a great desktop music player, especially if you are a console junkie,
like frontend options, or restart X often.
NOTE: You will have to create a directory manually, ~/.mpd/playlists.
Also, be sure to edit the config file (/etc/mpd.conf), if needed, before
running the daemon.
If save status isn't working properly when killing, try "killall -TERM mpd",
and that should resolve the problem.
