+idle
+ Waits until there is a noteworthy change in one or more of
+ MPD's subsystems. As soon as there is one, it lists all
+ changed systems in a line in the format "changed: SUBSYSTEM",
+ where SUBSYSTEM is one of the following:
+
+ database: the song database has been updated
+ stored_playlist: a stored playlist has been modified, renamed,
+ created or deleted
+ playlist: the current playlist has been modified
+ player: the player has been started, stopped or seeked
+ mixer: the volume has been changed
+ output: an audio output has been enabled or disabled
+ options: options like "repeat", "random", "crossfade"
+
+ While a client waits for "idle" results, the server disables
+ timeouts, allowing a client to wait for events as long as mpd
+ runs. The "idle" command can be canceled by sending a new
+ command.
