Music Player Daemon (MPD) allows remote access for playing music (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Mod, and wave files) and managing playlists. MPD is designed for integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides control for music playback over a local network. It also makes a great desktop music player, especially if you are a console junkie, like frontend options, or restart X often.

svn log -v -r6330:7177 https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/tags/release-0.13.1
As usual, files are available for downloading here MPD and libmpdclient 0.13.0 Released
05/28/07
It took longer than we had hoped, but 0.13.0 is finally here. See the ChangeLog for details, and grab the tarballs from the Files page. MPC and libmpdclient 0.12.1 Released
03/21/07
Unlike yesterday's release of MPD, this release actually includes some new features, along with various bug fixes. See the MPC ChangeLog for details. MPD 0.12.2 Released
03/20/07
This release just fixes a bug introduced in 0.12.0 where clients could cause MPD to segfault. Some clients were hitting this bug unintentionally, however it could also be used by a malicious user to crash a (possibly remote) MPD. For the more technically inclined, this is merely a NULL pointer dereference. No code execution is possible, it's simply a denial of service attack. MPD 0.12.1 Released
10/11/06
When we released 0.12.0, we promised ourselves we would start releasing more often. To keep that promise we've released 0.12.1. See the ChangeLog for a list of changes, and the Files page for download links.
