aMPD

I have a UG802 running android connected to my hardisk containing music files (via usb) and to a AV Receiver (with a 5.1 setup) via HDMI. And this app helps me to use my laptop (running Linux) as a front end for playing music. Now I can control my 5.1 setup just from my laptop and dont have to walk upto my AV receiver each time. All I had to do was to install 'Ario' music player on my laptop The only thing I find broken is Volume Control. Volume + and - doesn't seem to do anything

Fill a MicroSD card with music, install ampd, and hook your old Android to your stereo. Violà, you have an awesome, remote-controlled jukebox. This is the best use I've found for an old Android device, especially one with a mediocre display.

This app does exactly what I've always dreamed. So many apps out there for doing the reverse (android-based MPD client), but I've always wanted an MPD _server_ on my phone and was just about to try writing it myself. Now I don't have to! Thanks!

Can't save playlist. Can't put playlist to play on startup. Cif directory can't be fully scanned, some size limit issue. However it works...but with limitation and version was not updated from 2013

Really cool to have a personal mpd server on my phone, nice combination with easysshfs and a media server :D database proxy support would make it even more useful.

I'd love to use sockets instead. Localhost is not reachable sometimes after network changes

It doesn't recognize when an ogg file has multiple genre tags. Only reads one of the tags. Hard to keep my music collection organized without tags being read correctly.

This app runs a server which indexes local music files by tags and filename. The MPDroid client makes it easy to search by tags (artist, album, song title, etc.) or browse by filename to create queues and playlists and play music in a way that seems comparable to desktop players - a design most mobile music apps lack.

is there any chance to work without WiFi? __ yeah it's possible though playback can't be controlled. it just plays after switch off the WiFi. hope this will work as a standalone player in future.

It works great for my purpose, and allows me to play my music/favorite network streams in my bedroom where I don't have a dedicated media player set up.

Just what I needed - I use mpd on linux, didnt expect to find it on android. Works perfectly, thankyou. Wifi not required for a local connection, connect client to 127.0.0.1 works even in airplane mode.

It just "werks". It's like a simplified version of mpd. Maybe being able to manually update the database and or add other outputs would be cool. However it works great already and solid as is.

Running aMPD on an old smartphone connected to the amp in my living room. Mounted NAS music share with Cifsmanager and my old phone is my new networked audiostreamer now, controllable from any device on my lan network. Great job man, thanks a lot!

Works as described! Been looking all over for such a solution.

Now nice if it can pull music from a network share.

Does what it promises. Thx dev

So glad you ported this now older android phones are more useful ;)

This would be really useful if I could tell it to connect to a music library on a network drive rather than on the phone

Why didn't I find this app earlier?

tguillem is my hero. He has ported the original MPD code from linux to Android, and the port works very well with no noticeable bugs. It supports additional functions of richer clients, such as volume control and seek within file while playing, as well. This makes it even better than the original distribution of MPD on Ubuntu...

Works just as I'd expect now. Easy to set up and sound quality is fine.

Fantastic app and thank you for the excellent work. How can I get Playlists to work?

Really nice, especially for devices connected to TV or Hi-Fi installation.

Holy ----. Just what I wanted. Thank you, dev!
