What is MPD?

MPD (Music Player Daemon) is a server-client audio player long popular with Linux users. The headless daemon runs as a background service, typically on a remote audio server. Music is then accessed via a GUI client frontend, which connects to the MPD server to stream content.

Kind of like running your bespoke, curated music streaming service, in a sense.

Very cool, I haven't used MPD for 15 years, good to hear that it's alive and well!

Oooo, crossfade, nice. Not many music players have/support this, and it's an essential feature for me.

I've been wanting to get around to organizing my music and setup mpd, and this seems like a great way to practice. I'm still in a weird phase of using command-line tools and a window manager, but still relying on GUI applications like Dolphin (file manager).

Fond memories of using mpd back in the day. I used sonata gtk frontend

This looks really neat!

This look great. I've always wanted to check out self hosting but it makes finding new things more difficult

I love mpd, I was a longtime ncmpcpp user, the only thing I didn't like was no synced lyrics, then I discovered rmpc and it's game over, totally customizable, fast and has all the features to compete even with gui clients

i love mpd and will check this out

I’ll keep ncmpcpp, thanks. I haven’t used a gui music player in years. They seem so goofy now.

Wow, this is so fucking pretty! Unfortunately, I don't really have a need for local music files player, but I love it.

Why is the microphone running after launching the app? I built the flatpak from the instructions.
