<application>Music Player Daemon</application>
(<application>MPD</application>) 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.

<application>MPD</application> (Music Player Daemon) is, as the
name suggests, a server software allowing you to remotely play
your music, handle playlists, deliver music (HTTP streams with
various sub-protocols) and organize playlists.
</para>
<para>
It has been written with minimal resource usage and stability in
mind! Infact, it runs fine on a Pentium 75, allowing you to use
your cheap old PC to create a stereo system!
</para>
<para>
<application>MPD</application> supports also gapless playback,
buffered audio output, and crossfading!
</para>
<para>
The separate client and server design allows users to choose a
user interface that best suites their tastes independently of
the underlying daemon, which actually plays music!
