+.TH "Music Player Daemon" 1
+.SH NAME
+MPD \- A daemon for playing music
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B mpd
+.RI [ options ]
+.RI [ CONF_FILE ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+MPD is a daemon for playing music. Music is played through the configured
+audio output(s) (which are generally local, but can be remote). The daemon
+stores info about all available music, and this info can be easily searched and
+retrieved. Player control, info retrieval, and playlist management can all be
+managed remotely.
+
+MPD searches for a config file in \fB~/.mpdconf\fP then \fB/etc/mpd.conf\fP or
+uses CONF_FILE.
+
