MPD configuration files
# An example configuration file for MPD.
# Read the user manual for documentation: http://www.musicpd.org/doc/user/
# Files and directories #######################################################
#
# This setting controls the top directory which MPD will search to discover the
# available audio files and add them to the daemon's online database. This
# setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be
# be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using
# file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol.
#
music_directory "/mnt/data/Music"
#
# This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this
# directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use
# playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD
# format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled.
#
playlist_directory "~/.config/mpd/playlists"
#
# This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to
# load the database at server start up and store the database while the
# server is not up. This setting defaults to disabled which will allow
# MPD to accept files over ipc socket (using file:// protocol) or streaming
# files over an accepted protocol.
#
db_file "~/.config/mpd/database"
#
# These settings are the locations for the daemon log files for the daemon.
# These logs are great for troubleshooting, depending on your log_level
# settings.
#
# The special value "syslog" makes MPD use the local syslog daemon. This
# setting defaults to logging to syslog, otherwise logging is disabled.
#
log_file "~/.config/mpd/log"
#
# This setting sets the location of the file which stores the process ID
# for use of mpd --kill and some init scripts. This setting is disabled by
# default and the pid file will not be stored.
#
pid_file "~/.config/mpd/pid"
#
# This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about
# most variables to get MPD back into the same general shape it was in before
# it was brought down. This setting is disabled by default and the server
# state will be reset on server start up.
#
state_file "~/.config/mpd/state"
#
# The location of the sticker database. This is a database which
# manages dynamic information attached to songs.
#
sticker_file "~/.config/mpd/sticker.sql"
#
###############################################################################
# General music daemon options ################################################
#
# This setting specifies the user that MPD will run as. MPD should never run as
# root and you may use this setting to make MPD change its user ID after
# initialization. This setting is disabled by default and MPD is run as the
# current user.
#
#user "nobody"
#
# This setting specifies the group that MPD will run as. If not specified
# primary group of user specified with "user" setting will be used (if set).
# This is useful if MPD needs to be a member of group such as "audio" to
# have permission to use sound card.
#
#group "nogroup"
#
# This setting sets the address for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention
# should be paid if this is assigned to anything other then the default, any.
# This setting can deny access to control of the daemon.
#
# For network
#bind_to_address "any"
#
# And for Unix Socket
#bind_to_address "~/.mpd/socket"
#
# This setting is the TCP port that is desired for the daemon to get assigned
# to.
#
#port "6600"
#
# This setting controls the type of information which is logged. Available
# setting arguments are "default", "secure" or "verbose". The "verbose" setting
# argument is recommended for troubleshooting, though can quickly stretch
# available resources on limited hardware storage.
#
#log_level "default"
#
# If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that
# you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves
# the problem, it is highly recommended to fix the MP3 files with vbrfix
# (available from <http://www.willwap.co.uk/Programs/vbrfix.php>), at which
# point gapless MP3 playback can be enabled.
#
gapless_mp3_playback "yes"
#
# Setting "restore_paused" to "yes" puts MPD into pause mode instead
# of starting playback after startup.
#
restore_paused "yes"
#
# This setting enables MPD to create playlists in a format usable by other
# music players.
#
#save_absolute_paths_in_playlists "no"
#
# This setting defines a list of tag types that will be extracted during the
# audio file discovery process. The complete list of possible values can be
# found in the mpd.conf man page.
#metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date,composer,performer,disc"
#
# This setting enables automatic update of MPD's database when files in
# music_directory are changed.
#
auto_update "yes"
#
# Limit the depth of the directories being watched, 0 means only watch
# the music directory itself. There is no limit by default.
#
#auto_update_depth "3"
#
###############################################################################
# Symbolic link behavior ######################################################
#
# If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following
# symbolic links outside of the configured music_directory.
#
follow_outside_symlinks "yes"
#
# If this setting is set to "yes", MPD will discover audio files by following
# symbolic links inside of the configured music_directory.
#
follow_inside_symlinks "yes"
#
###############################################################################
# Zeroconf / Avahi Service Discovery ##########################################
#
# If this setting is set to "yes", service information will be published with
# Zeroconf / Avahi.
#
zeroconf_enabled "yes"
#
# The argument to this setting will be the Zeroconf / Avahi unique name for
# this MPD server on the network.
#
zeroconf_name "MPD Server"

#
#samplerate_converter "Fastest Sinc Interpolator"
#
###############################################################################
# Normalization automatic volume adjustments ##################################
#
# This setting specifies the type of ReplayGain to use. This setting can have
# the argument "off", "album", "track" or "auto". "auto" is a special mode that
# chooses between "track" and "album" depending on the current state of
# random playback. If random playback is enabled then "track" mode is used.
# See <http://www.replaygain.org> for more details about ReplayGain.
# This setting is off by default.
#
#replaygain "album"
#
# This setting sets the pre-amp used for files that have ReplayGain tags. By
# default this setting is disabled.
#
#replaygain_preamp "0"
#
# This setting sets the pre-amp used for files that do NOT have ReplayGain tags.
# By default this setting is disabled.
#
#replaygain_missing_preamp "0"
#
# This setting enables or disables ReplayGain limiting.
# MPD calculates actual amplification based on the ReplayGain tags
# and replaygain_preamp / replaygain_missing_preamp setting.
# If replaygain_limit is enabled MPD will never amplify audio signal
# above its original level. If replaygain_limit is disabled such amplification
# might occur. By default this setting is enabled.
#
#replaygain_limit "yes"
#
# This setting enables on-the-fly normalization volume adjustment. This will
# result in the volume of all playing audio to be adjusted so the output has
# equal "loudness". This setting is disabled by default.
#
#volume_normalization "no"
#
###############################################################################
# MPD Internal Buffering ######################################################
#
# This setting adjusts the size of internal decoded audio buffering. Changing
# this may have undesired effects. Don't change this if you don't know what you
# are doing.
#
#audio_buffer_size "4096"
#
# This setting controls the percentage of the buffer which is filled before
# beginning to play. Increasing this reduces the chance of audio file skipping,
# at the cost of increased time prior to audio playback.
#
#buffer_before_play "10%"
#
###############################################################################
# Resource Limitations ########################################################
#
# These settings are various limitations to prevent MPD from using too many
# resources. Generally, these settings should be minimized to prevent security
# risks, depending on the operating resources.
#
#connection_timeout "60"
#max_connections "10"
#max_playlist_length "16384"
#max_command_list_size "2048"
#max_output_buffer_size "8192"
#
###############################################################################
# Character Encoding ##########################################################
#
# If file or directory names do not display correctly for your locale then you
# may need to modify this setting.
#
#filesystem_charset "UTF-8"
#
# This setting controls the encoding that ID3v1 tags should be converted from.
#
#id3v1_encoding "ISO-8859-1"
#
###############################################################################
# SIDPlay decoder #############################################################
#
# songlength_database:
# Location of your songlengths file, as distributed with the HVSC.
# The sidplay plugin checks this for matching MD5 fingerprints.
# See http://www.c64.org/HVSC/DOCUMENTS/Songlengths.faq
#
# default_songlength:
# This is the default playing time in seconds for songs not in the

##########################################################
## this is example bindings configuration file, copy it ##
## to ~/.ncmpcpp/bindings and set up your preferences ##
##########################################################
##
##### General rules #####
##
## 1) Because each action has runtime checks whether it's
## ok to run it, a few actions can be bound to one key.
## Actions will be bound in order given in configuration
## file. When a key is pressed, first action in order
## will test itself whether it's possible to run it. If
## test succeeds, action is executed and other actions
## bound to this key are ignored. If it doesn't, next
## action in order tests itself etc.
##
## 2) It's possible to bind more that one action at once
## to a key. It can be done using the following syntax:
##
## def_key "key"
## action1
## action2
## ...
##
## This creates a chain of actions. When such chain is
## executed, each action in chain is run until the end of
## chain is reached or one of its actions fails to execute
## due to its requirements not being met. If multiple actions
## and/or chains are bound to the same key, they will be
## consecutively run until one of them gets fully executed.
##
## 3) When ncmpcpp starts, bindings configuration file is
## parsed and then ncmpcpp provides "missing pieces"
## of default keybindings. If you want to disable some
## bindings, there is a special action called 'dummy'
## for that purpose. Eg. if you want to disable ability
## to crop playlists, you need to put the following
## into configuration file:
##
## def_key "C"
## dummy
##
## After that ncmpcpp will not bind any default action
## to this key.
##
## 4) To let you write simple macros, the following special
## actions are provided:
##
## - push_character "character" - pushes given special
## character into input queue, so it will be immediately
## picked by ncmpcpp upon next call to readKey function.
## Accepted values: mouse, up, down, page_up, page_down,
## home, end, space, enter, insert, delete, left, right,
## tab, shift_tab, ctrl_a, ctrl_b, ..., ctrl_z, f1, f2,
## ..., f12, backspace, backspace_2.
##
## - push_characters "string" - pushes given string into
## input queue.
##
## - require_runnable "action" - checks whether given action
## is runnable and fails if it isn't. This is especially
## useful when mixed with previous two functions. Consider
## the following macro definition:
##
## def_key "key"
## push_characters "custom_filter"
## apply_filter
##
## If apply_filter can't be currently run, we end up with
## sequence of characters in input queue which will be
## treated just as we typed them. This may lead to unexpected
## results (in this case 'c' will most likely clear current
## playlist, 'u' will trigger database update, 's' will stop
## playback etc.). To prevent such thing from happening, we
## need to change above definition to this one:
##
## def_key "key"
## require_runnable "apply_filter"
## push_characters "custom_filter"
## apply_filter
##
## Here, first we test whether apply_filter can be actually run
## before we stuff characters into input queue, so if condition
## is not met, whole chain is aborted and we're fine.
##
## - require_screen "screen" - checks whether given screen is
## currently active. accepted values: browser, clock, help,
## media_library, outputs, playlist, playlist_editor,
## search_engine, tag_editor, visualizer, last_fm, lyrics,
## selected_items_adder, server_info, song_info,
## sort_playlist_dialog, tiny_tag_editor.
##
## - run_external_command "command" - runs given command using
## system() function.
##
## 5) In addition to binding to a key, you can also bind actions
## or chains of actions to a command. If it comes to commands,
## syntax is very similar to defining keys. Here goes example
## definition of a command:
##
## def_command "quit" [deferred]
## stop
## quit
##
## If you execute the above command (which can be done by
## invoking action execute_command, typing 'quit' and pressing
## enter), ncmpcpp will stop the player and then quit. Note the
## presence of word 'deferred' enclosed in square brackets. It
## tells ncmpcpp to wait for confirmation (ie. pressing enter)
## after you typed quit. Instead of 'deferred', 'immediate'
## could be used. Then ncmpcpp will not wait for confirmation
## (enter) and will execute the command the moment it sees it.
##
## Note: Both 'backspace' and 'backspace_2' are used because some
## terminals interpret backspace using keycode of 'backspace'
## and some the one of 'backspace_2'. You can get away with
## binding once if all your terminal emulators use the same
## value.
##
## Note: There is a difference between:
##
## def_key "key"
## action1
##
## def_key "key"
## action2
##
## and
##
## def_key "key"
## action1
## action2
##
## First one binds two single actions to the same key whilst
## second one defines a chain of actions. The behavior of
## these two is different and is described in (1) and (2).
##
## Note: Function def_key accepts non-ascii characters.
##

####################################################
## this is example configuration file, copy it to ##
## ~/.ncmpcpp/config and set up your preferences ##
####################################################
#
##### directories ######
##
## Directory for storing ncmpcpp related files.
## Changing it is useful if you want to store
## everything somewhere else and provide command
## line setting for alternative location to config
## file which defines that while launching ncmpcpp.
##
#
#ncmpcpp_directory = ~/.ncmpcpp
#
##
## Directory for storing downloaded lyrics. It
## defaults to ~/.lyrics since other MPD clients
## (eg. ncmpc) also use that location.
##
#
#lyrics_directory = ~/.lyrics
#
##### connection settings #####
#
#mpd_host = localhost
#
#mpd_port = 6600
#
#mpd_connection_timeout = 5
#
## Needed for tag editor and file operations to work.
##
mpd_music_dir = /mnt/data/Music
#
#mpd_crossfade_time = 5
#
##### music visualizer #####
##
## Note: In order to make music visualizer work you'll
## need to use mpd fifo output, whose format parameter
## has to be set to 44100:16:1 for mono visualization
## or 44100:16:2 for stereo visualization. Example
## configuration (it has to be put into mpd.conf):
##
## audio_output {
## type "fifo"
## name "Visualizer feed"
## path "/tmp/mpd.fifo"
## format "44100:16:2"
## }
##
#
visualizer_fifo_path = /tmp/mpd.fifo
#
##
## Note: Below parameter is needed for ncmpcpp
## to determine which output provides data for
## visualizer and thus allow syncing between
## visualization and sound as currently there
## are some problems with it.
##
#
visualizer_output_name = Visualizer feed
#
##
## If you set format to 44100:16:2, make it 'yes'.
##
visualizer_in_stereo = yes
#
##
## Multiply received samples by given value. Very
## useful for proper visualization of quiet music.
##
#visualizer_sample_multipler = 1
#
##
## Note: Below parameter defines how often ncmpcpp
## has to "synchronize" visualizer and audio outputs.
## 30 seconds is optimal value, but if you experience
## synchronization problems, set it to lower value.
## Keep in mind that sane values start with >=10.
##
#
#visualizer_sync_interval = 30
#
##
## Note: To enable spectrum frequency visualization
## you need to compile ncmpcpp with fftw3 support.
##
#
## Available values: spectrum, wave.
##
visualizer_type = wave
#
visualizer_look = ●▮
#
##### system encoding #####
##
## ncmpcpp should detect your charset encoding
## but if it failed to do so, you can specify
## charset encoding you are using here.
##
## Note: You can see whether your ncmpcpp build
## supports charset detection by checking output
## of `ncmpcpp --version`.
##
## Note: Since MPD uses UTF-8 by default, setting
## this option makes sense only if your encoding
## is different.
##
#
#system_encoding = ""
#
##### delays #####
#
## Time of inactivity (in seconds) after playlist
## highlighting will be disabled (0 = always on).
##
#playlist_disable_highlight_delay = 5
#
## Defines how long messages are supposed to be visible.
##
#message_delay_time = 5
#
##### song format #####
##
## for song format you can use:
##
## %l - length
## %f - filename
## %D - directory
## %a - artist
## %A - album artist
## %t - title
## %b - album
## %y - date
## %n - track number (01/12 -> 01)
## %N - full track info (01/12 -> 01/12)
## %g - genre
## %c - composer
## %p - performer
## %d - disc
## %C - comment
## %P - priority
## $R - begin right alignment
##
## you can also put them in { } and then it will be displayed
## only if all requested values are available and/or define alternate
## value with { }|{ } eg. {%a - %t}|{%f}
##
## Note: If you want to set limit on maximal length of a tag, just
## put the appropriate number between % and character that defines
## tag type, e.g. to make album take max. 20 terminal cells, use '%20b'.
##
## Note: Format that is similar to "%a - %t" (i.e. without any additional
## braces) is equal to "{%a - %t}", so if one of the tags is missing,
## you'll get nothing.
##
## text can also have different color than the main window has,
## eg. if you want length to be green, write "$3%l$9".
##
## Available values:
##
## - 0 - default window color (discards all other colors)
## - 1 - black
## - 2 - red
## - 3 - green
## - 4 - yellow
## - 5 - blue
## - 6 - magenta
## - 7 - cyan
## - 8 - white
## - 9 - end of current color
##
## Note: colors can be nested.
##
#
#song_list_format = {%a - }{%t}|{$8%f$9}$R{$3(%l)$9}
#
#song_status_format = {{%a{ "%b"{ (%y)}} - }{%t}}|{%f}
#
#song_library_format = {%n - }{%t}|{%f}
#
#tag_editor_album_format = {(%y) }%b
#
##
## Note: Below variables are used for sorting songs in browser.
## The sort mode determines how songs are sorted, and can be used
## in combination with a sort format to specify a custom sorting format.
## Available values for browser_sort_mode are "name", "mtime", "format"
## and "noop".
##
#
#browser_sort_mode = name
#
#browser_sort_format = {%a - }{%t}|{%f} {(%l)}
#
##
## Note: Below variables are for alternative version of user's interface.
## Their syntax supports all tags and colors listed above plus some extra
## markers used for text attributes. They are followed by character '$'.
## After that you can put:
##
## - b - bold text
## - u - underline text
## - r - reverse colors
## - a - use alternative character set
##
## If you don't want to use an attribute anymore, just put it again, but
## this time insert character '/' between '$' and attribute character,
## e.g. {$b%t$/b}|{$r%f$/r} will display bolded title tag or filename
## with reversed colors.
##
#
#alternative_header_first_line_format = $b$1$aqqu$/a$9 {%t}|{%f} $1$atqq$/a$9$/b
#
#alternative_header_second_line_format = {{$4$b%a$/b$9}{ - $7%b$9}{ ($4%y$9)}}|{%D}
#
##
## Note: below variables also support text attributes listed above.
##
#
#now_playing_prefix = $b
#
#now_playing_suffix = $/b
#
#browser_playlist_prefix = "$2playlist$9 "
#
#selected_item_prefix = $6
#
#selected_item_suffix = $9
#
#modified_item_prefix = $3> $9
#
## Note: colors are not supported for below variable.
##
#song_window_title_format = {%a - }{%t}|{%f}
#
##### columns settings #####
##
## syntax of song columns list format is "column column etc."
##
## - syntax for each column is:
##
## (width of column)[column's color]{displayed tag}
##
## Note: Width is by default in %, if you want a column to
## have fixed size, add 'f' after the value, e.g. (10)[white]{a}
## will be the column that take 10% of screen (so the real column's
## width will depend on actual screen size), whereas (10f)[white]{a}
## will take 10 terminal cells, no matter how wide the screen is.
##
## - color is optional (if you want the default one, type [])
##
## Note: You can give a column additional attributes by putting appropriate
## character after displayed tag character. Available attributes are:
##
## - r - column will be right aligned
## - E - if tag is empty, empty tag marker won't be displayed
##
## You can also:
##
## - give a column custom name by putting it after attributes,
## separated with character ':', e.g. {lr:Length} gives you
## right aligned column of lengths named "Length".
##
## - define sequence of tags, that have to be displayed in case
## predecessor is empty in a way similar to the one in classic
## song format, i.e. using '|' character, e.g. {a|c|p:Owner}
## creates column named "Owner" that tries to display artist
## tag and then composer and performer if previous ones are
## not available.
##
#
#song_columns_list_format = (20)[]{a} (6f)[green]{NE} (50)[white]{t|f:Title} (20)[cyan]{b} (7f)[magenta]{l}
song_columns_list_format = "(20)[cyan]{a} (50)[yellow]{t|f} (20)[red]{b} (7f)[green]{l}"
#
##### various settings #####
