1) unzip and untar the archive
$ tar zxvf mpd-x.x.x.tar.gz

$ cd mpd-x.x.x

$ ./configure
4) Compile
$ make
Install (Optional)

(as root)
$ make install
Run
---
1) run mpd:
<port>: port number daemon listens on (if running as a user, this should be
greater than 1024)
<mp3 directory>: directory containing mp3's
<playlist directory>: directory where playlists will be stored (and .mpddb will
be placed)
<mpd log>: log file for mpd
<mpd err>: error log file for mpd
$ mpd <port> <mp3 directory> <playlist directory> <mpd log> <mpd err>
example where mpd executable is in mpd-x.x.x directory:
$ mpd-x.x.x/mpd 6600 mp3 playlists mpd.log mpd.err
Note: The first time you run mpd, it will "explore" your mp3 directory for
mp3's.
Also, mpd can alternatively use config file. In this case,
run mpd like this:
$ mpd <config file>
(if no config file is specified, mpd's looks for ~/.mpdconf then /etc/mpd.conf)
an example would be:
$ mpd playlists/.mpdconf
A sample config file is included with the source of MPD, mpdconf.example .
Using MPD
---------
You can download a web interface (phpMp) to MPD at
http://www.musicpd.org .
Also, several other clients can be found for MPD at http://www.musicpd.org .
MPD can be interfaced directly using telnet (see COMMANDS, if you are brave).
