This program is a PHP interface to the MPD (http://www.musicpd.org/). Using
this interface, you may write your own custom web-based interface to 
the MPD.

In the event you want to talk with me, you may email bcarlisle@24oz.com.

MPD in my own home audio environment. The interface that is supplied alongside MPD, called phpMp, worked, but was not as customizable as I would have liked. I currently use Netjuke (http://netjuke.sourceforge.net/) in order to catalog and locally play my MP3s, but I wanted a way to play songs through a playlist on my server.

This class solved that problem -- I could integrate both pieces of software from a look-and-feel perspective and also allow one to talk to the other.

This class has been tested with
  PHP 4.2.1, 4.2.3
  MPD 0.8.4, 0.8.5, 0.8.6, 0.8.7


To install this php class, you simply need to place it in a directory that may be include()ed by PHP, and call require('mpd.class.php');. You may also place it in your PHP Include Path.


Please see the USAGE document for class methods/properties and examples on how to use MPD.


Thank you to the MPD folks. You've put together a very easy-to-use and stable music daemon.
Another big thanks to Netjuke folks... absolutely great program!
