# An example configuration file for MPD # See the mpd.conf man page for a more detailed description of each parameter. # Required files and directories ############################################## # # From this directory MPD will discover the available audio files and add them # to the daemon's online database. # music_directory "~/music" # # This is the MPD internal playlist directory. This directory is not intended # for preexisting playlists which were not created by MPD. # playlist_directory "~/.mpd/playlists" # # This is the database file. This holds MPDs audio file locations when the # daemon is down. # db_file "~/.mpd/database" # # The log files for the daemon. Great for troubleshooting, depending on your # log_level. # log_file "~/.mpd/log" error_file "~/.mpd/error-log" ############################################################################### # Optional files ############################################################## # # This file is required for mpd --kill, and some init script, usage. # #pid_file "~/.mpd/pid" # # This file contains information about most variables to get MPD back into the # same general shape it was in before it was brought down. This file must be # specified to utilize this feature. # #state_file "~/.mpd/state" # ############################################################################### # General music daemon options ################################################ # # This specifies the user that MPD will run as, if set. MPD should # never run as root, and you may use this option to make MPD change # its user id after initialization. Do not use this option if you # start MPD as an unprivileged user. # #user "nobody" # # The address for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention should be paid # if this is assigned to anything other then the default, any. This option can # deny access to control of the daemon. # # For network #bind_to_address "any" # # And for Unix Socket #bind_to_address "~/.mpd/socket" # # The port that is desired for the daemon to get assigned to. # #port "6600" # # Controls the type of information which is logged. Available options are # "default", "secure" or "verbose". The verbose option recommended # for troubleshooting, though can quickly stretch available resources on # limited hardware. # #log_level "default" # # If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that # you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves # the problem, it is highly recommended to fix the MP3 files with vbrfix # (available from ), at which # point gapless MP3 playback can be enabled. # #gapless_mp3_playback "yes" # # Enable this have MPD create playlists in a format usable by other music # players. # #save_absolute_paths_in_playlists "no" # # A list of tag types that MPD will discover during audio file discovery. # Optionally, comments can be added to this list. # #metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,composer,performer,disc" # ############################################################################### # Symbolic link behavior ###################################################### # # Allow MPD to discover audio files by following symbolic links outside of the # configured music_directory. # #follow_outside_symlinks "yes" # # Allow MPD to discover audio files by following symbolic links inside of the # configured music_directory. # #follow_inside_symlinks "yes" # ############################################################################### # Zeroconf / Avahi Service Discovery ########################################## # # If yes, service information will be published with Zeroconf / Avahi. # #zeroconf_enabled "yes" # # The unique name for this MPD server for your network. # #zeroconf_name "Music Player" # ############################################################################### # Permissions ################################################################# # # MPD can require password authorization. This can be specified multiple times # for different user profiles. # #password "password@read,add,control,admin" # # This specifies the permissions a user has who has not yet logged in. # #default_permissions "read,add,control,admin" # ############################################################################### # Audio Output ################################################################ # # MPD supports many audio output types, as well as playing # through multiple audio outputs at the same time. You can # specify one or more here. If you don't specify any, MPD will # automatically scan for a usable audio output. # # See # for examples of other audio outputs. # # An example of an ALSA output: # #audio_output { # type "alsa" # name "My ALSA Device" # device "hw:0,0" # optional # format "44100:16:2" # optional #} # # An example of an OSS output: # #audio_output { # type "oss" # name "My OSS Device" # device "/dev/dsp" # optional # format "44100:16:2" # optional #} # # An example of a shout output (for streaming to Icecast): # #audio_output { # type "shout" # encoding "ogg" # optional # name "My Shout Stream" # host "localhost" # port "8000" # mount "/mpd.ogg" # password "hackme" # quality "5.0" # bitrate "128" # format "44100:16:1" # protocol "icecast2" # optional # user "source" # optional # description "My Stream Description" # optional # genre "jazz" # optional # public "no" # optional # timeout "2" # optional #} # # An example of a pulseaudio output (streaming to a remote pulseaudio server) # #audio_output { # type "pulse" # name "My Pulse Output" # server "remote_server" # sink "remote_server_sink" #} # ## An example of a null output (for no audio output): # #audio_output { # type "null" # name "My Null Output" #} # # Force all decoded audio to be converted to this format before being passed # to the audio outputs. By default, this option is disabled. # #audio_output_format "44100:16:2" # # If MPD has been compiled with libsamplerate support, this specifies the # sample rate converter to use. Possible values can be found in the mpd.conf # man page or the libsamplerate documentation.

If one is not # specified it may be autodetected at startup, depending on available options. # # An example for controlling an ALSA mixer: # #mixer_type "alsa" #mixer_device "default" #mixer_control "PCM" # # An example for controlling an OSS mixer: # #mixer_type "oss" #mixer_device "/dev/mixer" #mixer_control "PCM" # # This example is a general volume control mixer, it is used to adjust the # volume of the audio sent to the audio output. # #mixer_type "software" # ############################################################################### # Normalization automatic volume adjustments ################################## # # Specifies the type of ReplayGain to use. This option can either be "album" or # "track". See for more details. If this option is # unset it is disabled. # #replaygain "album" # # Sets the pre-amp used for files that have ReplayGain tags, if enabled. # #replaygain_preamp "0" # # Enable on-the-fly normalization volume adjustment.

Changing this can have # ill effects. Don't change this if you don't know what you are doing. # #audio_buffer_size "2048" # # The percent of the buffer to fill before beginning to play. Increasing this # reduces the chance of audio file skipping, but increases the time before # audio playback. # #buffer_before_play "10%" # ############################################################################### # HTTP Streaming Proxy ######################################################## # # Specifies the HTTP proxy to use for playing HTTP streams. By default, these # options will be disabled. # #http_proxy_host "proxy.isp.com" #http_proxy_port "8080" #http_proxy_user "user" #http_proxy_password "password" # ############################################################################### # Resource Limitations ######################################################## # # These are various limitations to prevent MPD from using too many resources. # Generally, these options should be minimized to prevent security risks, # depending on the operating resources. # #connection_timeout "60" #max_connections "10" #max_playlist_length "16384" #max_command_list_size "2048" #max_output_buffer_size "8192" # ############################################################################### # Character Encoding ########################################################## # # If file or directory names do not display correctly for your local then you # may need to modify this option.
