+ <title>Configuring the music directory</title>
+
+ <para>
+ When you play local files, you should organize them within a
+ directory called the "music directory". This is configured in
+ MPD with the <varname>music_directory</varname> setting.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ By default, MPD follows symbolic links in the music directory.
+ This behavior can be switched off:
+ <varname>follow_outside_symlinks</varname> controls whether
+ MPD follows links pointing to files outside of the music
+ directory, and <varname>follow_inside_symlinks</varname> lets
+ you disable symlinks to files inside the music directory.
