Having a functionnal setup for playing music on my unslung box, I decided to install and configure mpd on it for more flexibility.
Mpd is available as an ipkg package but some work must be done to make it work. I had to create /opt/etc/mpd.conf with the following content:
port “6600”
music_directory “/share/flash/data/public/mp3“
playlist_directory “/share/flash/data/public/mpd/playlists/“
db_file “/share/flash/data/public/mpd/mpd.db“
log_file “/share/flash/data/public/mpd/mpd.log“
error_file “/share/flash/data/public/mpd/mpd.error“
state_file “/share/flash/data/public/mpd/state“
audio_output_format “44100:16:2″
mixer_type “oss“
mixer_device “/dev/mixer“
mixer_control “Vol”
and create the appropriate directories on the hard drive, then execute mpd –create-db and finally restart the daemon.
On my laptop, I installed Sonata from the repos and ended up with a perfectly usable setup. Here is a screenshot:
I still need to change the ownership of some of these files to make it more secure, because at the moment, it is run as root…
