Component body

Implements a front end to mpd, the Linux music player daemon.
Use this module to view and control your mpd music player, which streams music to an audio output. It is intended to be used in a home (single-user) installation of drupal.

  • 2012.08 Added icons in the main page.
  • 2012.08 Can now select individual items from the browse/search results.
  • 2012.08 Ported to D7. The most current branch is 7.x-1.x
  • 2012.07 Using the mpd tcp/ip protocol directly. No more exec of mpc.

Requirements: This module communicate with mpd through tcp/ip, using the mpd protocol. It does not stream music to your browser. It only controls the mpd player, which streams music to an audio output.

The main page (mpc) displays the currently playing song and a few songs before and after. It updates automatically at the beginning of each song. For more information, read the README.txt file in the source code.

If you use mpd, you should also look at gmpc, which is a desktop client for mpd. I found out about gmpc after I wrote this drupal module.

Nevertheless, this module implements a web-based client (I had no luck with ampache), and it is done in drupal. I'd be curious in finding out how to make it display appropriately on small screens.
