Configurations/.mpd/mpd.conf

## MPD configuration file.
## Read the user manual for documentation: http://www.musicpd.org/doc/user/
## or /usr/share/doc/mpd/user-manual.html

## 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		"/mnt/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		"/home/matthew/.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			"/home/matthew/.mpd/mpd.db"
## 
## 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, otherwise logging is disabled.
log_file			"/home/matthew/.mpd/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			"/home/matthew/.mpd/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			"/home/matthew/.mpd/mpdstate"

## The location of the sticker database.  This is a database which
## manages dynamic information attached to songs.
##sticker_file                   "/var/lib/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				"matthew"

## 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                          "users"

## 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. Choose any if you want
## to have mpd listen on every address
## For network
bind_to_address		"localhost"

## And for Unix Socket
## bind_to_address		"/run/mpd/socket"

## This setting is the TCP port that is desired for the daemon to get assigned to.
port				"6601"

## 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"

## If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that 
## you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves
## the problem, it is highly recommended to fix the MP3 files with vbrfix
## (available as vbrfix in the debian archive), at which
## point gapless MP3 playback can be enabled.
## gapless_mp3_playback			"yes"

## Setting "restore_paused" to "yes" puts MPD into pause mode instead
## of starting playback after startup.
restore_paused "yes"

## This setting enables MPD to create playlists in a format usable by other
## music players.
save_absolute_paths_in_playlists	"yes"

## 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 mpd.conf man page.
metadata_to_use	"artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,composer,performer,disc"

## 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.
## zeroconf_name			"Music Player"


## Permissions
## If this setting is set, MPD will require password authorization. The password
## can 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
## database {
##       plugin "proxy"
##       host "other.mpd.host"
##       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. Setting this block is optional, though the server will only attempt
## autodetection for one sound card.

## An example of an ALSA output:
audio_output {
	type		"alsa"
	name		"My ALSA Device"
#	device		"hw:0,0"	# optional

## If MPD has been compiled with libsamplerate support, this setting specifies 
## the sample rate converter to use.  Possible values can be found in the 
## mpd.conf man page or the libsamplerate documentation. By default, this is
## setting is disabled.
## samplerate_converter		"Fastest Sinc Interpolator"


## Normalization automatic volume adjustments 
## This setting specifies the type of ReplayGain to use. 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 <http://www.replaygain.org> 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. This will
## result in the volume of all playing audio to be adjusted so the output has 
## equal "loudness". This setting is disabled by default.
## volume_normalization		"no"

## MPD Internal Buffering 
## This setting adjusts the size of internal decoded audio buffering. Changing
## this may have undesired effects. Don't change this if you don't know what you
## are doing.
## audio_buffer_size		"4096"

## This setting controls the percentage of the buffer which is filled before 
## beginning to play. Increasing this reduces the chance of audio file skipping, 
## at the cost of increased time prior to audio playback.
## buffer_before_play		"10%"

## Resource Limitations 
## These settings are various limitations to prevent MPD from using too many
## resources. Generally, these settings should be minimized to prevent security
## risks, depending on the operating resources.
## connection_timeout		"60"
## max_connections		"10"
## max_playlist_length		"16384"
## max_command_list_size		"2048"
## max_output_buffer_size		"8192"

## Character Encoding 
## If file or directory names do not display correctly for your locale then you 
## may need to modify this setting.
filesystem_charset		"UTF-8"

## This setting controls the encoding that ID3v1 tags should be converted from.
id3v1_encoding			"UTF-8"

## SIDPlay decoder
## songlength_database:
##  Location of your songlengths file, as distributed with the HVSC.
##  The sidplay plugin checks this for matching MD5 fingerprints.
##  See http://www.c64.org/HVSC/DOCUMENTS/Songlengths.faq

## default_songlength:
##  This is the default playing time in seconds for songs not in the
##  songlength database, or in case you're not using a database.
##  A value of 0 means play indefinitely.

## filter:
##  Turns the SID filter emulation on or off.
## decoder {
##       plugin                  "sidplay"
##       songlength_database     "/media/C64Music/DOCUMENTS/Songlengths.txt"
##       default_songlength      "120"
##       filter "true"
##}
