About Music Player Daemon (MPD)
Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a flexible, powerful, server-side application for playing music. Through plugins and libraries, it can play a variety of sound files while being controlled by its network protocol. An experimental Android build is available on Google Play. After installing and launching it, MPD will scan the music in your music directory and you can control it as usual with an MPD client. Each plugin usually needs a codec library, which you also need to install. Check the plugin reference for details about the required libraries. Even though it does not “feel” like a Windows application, MPD works well under Windows. Its build process follows the “Linux style” and may seem awkward for Windows people (who are not used to compiling their software, anyway). Audio outputs are devices that actually play the audio chunks produced by MPD. You can configure any number of audio output devices, but there must be at least one.
