I use it for like 15 years now. No other player is that versatile.
Client/Server, very stable, small resource footprint.
Recently I used mpd to play audiobooks and live radio streams on my headless server. MPD uses icecast to make the stream available in my local network so I can use chromecast and/or google assistants to listen to the streams. Its more or less running transparent in the background and iam very glad I found this solution.

- pferde 5y agoI too used MPD in various scenarios for maybe a decade, but sometimes last year it stopped working with pulseaudio, and no amount of tinkering seemed to fix it (other apps worked with PA like a breeze, but not MPD). So I replaced it with Qmmp, and am slowly forgetting about it.
