Music Player Daemon

Music Player Daemon (MPD) is a server that allows remote access for playing music in various formats and managing playlists. It makes a great desktop player with frontend options (Qt, GTK, ncurses, Windows, and Web clients are available). It is also appropriate as a console player that is scriptable, and is especially useful if X is restarted frequently. A set of rapid development tools for clients are being developed and include a C library, Python module, PHP class, Perl module, and Java Class. The goals are to be easy to install and use, to have minimal resource requirements, to be stable and flexible, and easy to interface.

It's one of the best music players there are. The idea of using the client-server architecture on the desktop is very good, I wish more developers embraced this approach.

Re: Wonderful!
Oh yes, you´re right. I´ve installed Winamp before but the Music Player Daemon is better than every other program because of its wide range of audio devices and the frontend options. (www.sound-planet.de)

Wonderful!
I would just like to say that you people are doing a great job, and that mpd, in conjunction with mpc and gmpc, is by far my favourite music player. Keep it up!
