# An example configuration file for MPD. # Read the user manual for documentation: http://www.musicpd.org/doc/user/ # Don't play music on start restore_paused "yes" # Files and directories ####################################################### # # This setting controls the top directory which MPD will search to discover the # available audio files and add them to the daemon's online database. This # setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be # be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using # file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol. # music_directory "~/Music" # This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this # directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use # playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD # format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled. # playlist_directory "~/.mpd/playlists" # # This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to # load the database at server start up and store the database while the # server is not up. This setting defaults to disabled which will allow # MPD to accept files over ipc socket (using file:// protocol) or streaming # files over an accepted protocol. # db_file "~/.mpd/database" # # These settings are the locations for the daemon log files for the daemon. # These logs are great for troubleshooting, depending on your log_level # settings. # # The special value "syslog" makes MPD use the local syslog daemon. This # setting defaults to logging to syslog. # log_file "~/.mpd/log" # # This setting sets the location of the file which stores the process ID # for use of mpd --kill and some init scripts. This setting is disabled by # default and the pid file will not be stored. # pid_file "~/.mpd/pid" # # This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about # most variables to get MPD back into the same general shape it was in before # it was brought down. This setting is disabled by default and the server # state will be reset on server start up. # state_file "~/.mpd/state" # # The location of the sticker database. This is a database which # manages dynamic information attached to songs. # sticker_file "~/.mpd/sticker.sql" # ############################################################################### # General music daemon options ################################################ # # This setting specifies the user that MPD will run as. MPD should never run as # root and you may use this setting to make MPD change its user ID after # initialization. This setting is disabled by default and MPD is run as the # current user. # user "mark" # # This setting specifies the group that MPD will run as. If not specified # primary group of user specified with "user" setting will be used (if set). # This is useful if MPD needs to be a member of group such as "audio" to # have permission to use sound card. # #group "nogroup" # # This setting sets 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 setting can deny access to control of the daemon. Not effective if # systemd socket activiation is in use. # # For network #bind_to_address "any" # # And for Unix Socket #bind_to_address "~/.mpd/socket" # # This setting is the TCP port that is desired for the daemon to get assigned # to. # port "6600" # # This setting controls the type of information which is logged. Available # setting arguments are "default", "secure" or "verbose". The "verbose" setting # argument is recommended for troubleshooting, though can quickly stretch # available resources on limited hardware storage. # #log_level "default" # # Setting "restore_paused" to "yes" puts MPD into pause mode instead # of starting playback after startup. # #restore_paused "no" # # This setting enables MPD to create playlists in a format usable by other # music players. # #save_absolute_paths_in_playlists "no" # # This setting defines a list of tag types that will be extracted during the # audio file discovery process. The complete list of possible values can be # found in the user manual. metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,comment" # # This example just enables the "comment" tag without disabling all # the other supported tags: #metadata_to_use "+comment" # # This setting enables automatic update of MPD's database when files in # music_directory are changed. # auto_update "yes" # # Limit the depth of the directories being watched, 0 means only watch # the music directory itself. There is no limit by default. # #auto_update_depth "3" # ############################################################################### # Symbolic link behavior ###################################################### # # If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following # symbolic links outside of the configured music_directory. # #follow_outside_symlinks "yes" # # If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following # symbolic links inside of the configured music_directory. # #follow_inside_symlinks "yes" # ############################################################################### # Zeroconf / Avahi Service Discovery ########################################## # # If this setting is set to "yes", service information will be published with # Zeroconf / Avahi. # #zeroconf_enabled "yes" # # The argument to this setting will be the Zeroconf / Avahi unique name for # this MPD server on the network. %h will be replaced with the hostname. # #zeroconf_name "Music Player @ %h" # ############################################################################### # Permissions ################################################################# # # If this setting is set, MPD will require password authorization. The password # setting can be specified multiple times for different password profiles. # #password "password@read,add,control,admin" # # This setting specifies the permissions a user has who has not yet logged in. # #default_permissions "read,add,control,admin" # ############################################################################### # Database ####################################################################### # #music_directory " #database { # plugin "proxy" # host "172.16.11.17" # port "6600" #} # Input ####################################################################### # #input { # plugin "curl" # proxy "proxy.isp.com:8080" # proxy_user "user" # proxy_password "password" } # ############################################################################### # Audio Output ################################################################ # # MPD supports various audio output types, as well as playing through multiple # audio outputs at the same time, through multiple audio_output settings # blocks.

This setting can have # the argument "off", "album", "track" or "auto". "auto" is a special mode that # chooses between "track" and "album" depending on the current state of # random playback. If random playback is enabled then "track" mode is used. # See for more details about ReplayGain. # This setting is off by default. # #replaygain "album" # # This setting sets the pre-amp used for files that have ReplayGain tags. By # default this setting is disabled. # #replaygain_preamp "0" # # This setting sets the pre-amp used for files that do NOT have ReplayGain tags. # By default this setting is disabled. # #replaygain_missing_preamp "0" # # This setting enables or disables ReplayGain limiting. # MPD calculates actual amplification based on the ReplayGain tags # and replaygain_preamp / replaygain_missing_preamp setting. # If replaygain_limit is enabled MPD will never amplify audio signal # above its original level. If replaygain_limit is disabled such amplification # might occur. By default this setting is enabled. # #replaygain_limit "yes" # # This setting enables on-the-fly normalization volume adjustment.
