Overview

mpdsubd is a service which exposes a Subsonic HTTP API bridge to a backing MPD server. MPD manages the music database, and mpdsubd queries MPD to retrieve data to send to Subsonic clients.

mpdsubd must have access to the files in MPD's music directory, to enable streaming to Subsonic clients. For this reason, it is recommended to run mpdsubd on the same server as MPD.
