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 "~/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 "~/.config/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

26 # files over an accepted protocol.

45 # This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about
