| 7 | # This setting controls the top directory which MPD will search to discover the |
| 8 | # available audio files and add them to the daemon's online database. This |
| 9 | # setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be |
| 10 | # be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using |
| 11 | # file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol. |
| 12 | # |
| 13 | music_directory "~/usr/music" |
| 14 | # |
| 15 | # This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this |
| 16 | # directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use |
| 17 | # playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD |
| 18 | # format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled. |
| 19 | # |
| 20 | playlist_directory "~/.mpd/playlists" |
| 21 | # |
| 22 | # This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to |
| 23 | # load the database at server start up and store the database while the |
| 24 | # server is not up. This setting defaults to disabled which will allow |

| 38 | # |
| 39 | # This setting sets the location of the file which stores the process ID |

| 41 | # default and the pid file will not be stored. |
| 42 | # |
| 43 | pid_file "~/.mpd/pid" |
| 44 | # |
| 45 | # This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about |
| 46 | # most variables to get MPD back into the same general shape it was in before |
| 47 | # it was brought down. This setting is disabled by default and the server |
| 48 | # state will be reset on server start up. |

| 62 | # This setting specifies the user that MPD will run as. MPD should never run as |
