+      MPD (Music Player Daemon) is, as the name suggests, a server
+      software allowing you to remotely play your music, handle
+      playlists, deliver music (HTTP STREAMS with various
+      sub-protocols) and organizze playlists.

+      It has been written with minimal resource usage and stability in
+      mind!  Infact, it runs fine on a Pentium 75, allowing you to use
+      your cheap old PC to create a stereo system!
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      MPD supports also Gapless playback, buffered audio output, and
+      crossfading!

+    <para>
+      The separate client and server design allows users to choose a
+      user interface that best suites their tastes independently of
+      the underlying daemon, which actually plays music!
