Music Player Daemon

Music Player Daemon (MPD) allows remote access for playing music (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Mod, and wave files) and managing playlists. MPD is designed for integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides control for music playback over a local network. It also makes a great desktop music player, especially if you are a console junkie, like frontend options, or restart X often.

Port notes

A basic configuration file has been created for you.
To add music to mpd's database, create symbolic links in
${prefix}/var/lib/mpd/music using 'ln -s'. For advanced
configuration, run "man mpd.conf" or refer to
${prefix}/share/doc/mpd/mpdconf.example for an example configuration file.

You may get "Problems shmget'ing" message when launching mpd.
In this case, you can increase the values of kern.sysv.shmmax and
kern.sysv.shmall in /etc/rc.

If you experience laggy playback, try increasing buffer_time in libao
options. A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting mpd with launchd. It is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start it, and to cause it to launch at startup:

sudo port load mpd
