9 # available audio files and add them to the daemon's online database. This
10 # setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be
11 # be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using
12 # file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol.
14 music_directory "/music"
16 # This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this
17 # directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use
18 # playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD
19 # format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled.

27 # files over an accepted protocol.

31 # These settings are the locations for the daemon log files for the daemon.

46 # This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about
47 # most variables to get MPD back into the same general shape it was in before

71 # primary group of user specified with "user" setting will be used (if set).
72 # This is useful if MPD needs to be a member of group such as "audio" to
73 # have permission to use sound card.
77 # This setting sets the address for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention
78 # should be paid if this is assigned to anything other then the default, any.

93 # setting arguments are "default", "secure" or "verbose". The "verbose" setting
94 # argument is recommended for troubleshooting, though can quickly stretch
95 # available resources on limited hardware storage.
99 # If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that
100 # you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves
101 # the problem, it is highly recommended to fix the MP3 files with vbrfix
