Summary

The package libmpdel is an Emacs library client to communicate with Music Player Daemon (MPD), a flexible, powerful, server-side application for playing music. For a user interface, please check the mpdel project instead (which depends on this one).

Installing

Get libmpdel from melpa or melpa stable. You can also clone the git repository.

You need to install and (quickly) configure an MPD server if you don't have any yet. Don't worry, that's simple and you won't regret it.

Usage

This code is a library and is meant for Emacs Lisp developers. The source code is well documented and organized in sections. Please have a look at it.

Entities

The library is implemented around a set of entities.

Name	Type	Fields	Description
song	structure	name, album, file, …
album	structure	name, artist
artist	structure	name
stored-playlist	structure	name	A named user-specified sequence of songs
search-criteria	structure	type, what	Read the protocol documentation
current-playlist	symbol	none	Represent the currently played sequence of songs
artists	symbol	none	Represent the set of all artists
stored-playlists	symbol	none	Represent the set of all stored playlists

Many functions in MPDel work on several kinds of entities (e.g., libmpdel-list). These methods are implemented with cl-defgeneric and cl-defmethod.
