+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.
+
+NOTE: You will have to create a directory manually, ~/.mpd/playlists.
+Also, be sure to edit the config file (/etc/mpd.conf), if needed, before
+running the daemon.
+
+If save status isn't working properly when killing, try `killall -TERM mpd`,
+and that should resolve the problem.
