MUSICPD(1) Music Player Daemon MUSICPD(1) NAME musicpd - MPD documentation SYNOPSIS musicpd [options] [CONF_FILE] 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 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpd/mpd.conf then ~/.mpdconf then ~/.mpd/mpd.conf then /etc/mpd.conf or uses CONF_FILE. Read more about MPD at http://www.musicpd.org/ OPTIONS --help Output a brief help message. --kill Kill the currently running mpd session. The pid_file parameter must be specified in the config file for this to work. --no-config Don't read from the configuration file. --no-daemon Don't detach from console. --stderr Print messages to stderr. --systemd Used on Linux only so MPD can reliably detect whether it was started as a systemd service. Users shouldn't use this switch on the command line. --verbose Verbose logging. --version Print version information. FILES $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpd/mpd.conf User configuration file (usually ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf). /etc/mpd.conf Global configuration file.
