MPD Client Android and iOS app.
+
This list is not the "final word". If intelligent arguments can be made, and code could be presented by those who want the feature, modifications can be made. These are simply the strong feelings held by most of those who maintain MPD.

=== MPD Is ===
-
I have done Android and iOS app for MPD Client.

+
* A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-server server] that plays music (Music Player Daemon)
+
+
* A queue and control for your music.
+
** Can be controlled through various [[Clients|clients]] locally and over the network with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol TCP].
+
+
* A music file decoder with various open source [[Dependencies#Audio_Decoding_.2F_Encoding|audio input plugins]] and [[Dependencies#Audio_Output|output plugins]], using multiple outputs simultaneously if requested.
+
+
* A HTTP input streamer.
+
** an HTTP website URL can be an added to the queue, or played directly ([[Dependencies#Audio_Decoding_.2F_Encoding|supported]] filetypes only).
+
+
=== MPD Is Not ===
+
+
* An album art protocol.
+
** Though there are many [[Clients|clients]] which support album art.
+
+
* An equalizer.
+
+
* A music tagger.
+
** There are some clients that are capable of tagging music files, though, since tagging capabilities aren't built into the server, the music collection must be locally accessible.
+
+
* A text parser for your playlist files.
+
** Though it will parse its own playlist files and various [[Clients|clients]] can parse yours, though not all clients.
+
+
* A statistics server.
+
** This would be better accomplished by a companion server. We follow the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle KISS principle] here.
+
+
* A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_visualization music visualization] output.
+
** Visualization of the output can be done by an independent audio program.
+
** An output plugin could help.
+
** MPD [[Clients|clients]] could decode and visualize the file themselves in sync with the server.
+
** [http://projectm.sourceforge.net/ projectM] can create visualizations for pulseaudio-servers, among others.
+
+
* A remote file server.
+
** [http://www.openafs.org OpenAFS], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System NFS], [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html sshfs], [http://www.samba.org samba] and many other network file systems are more than capable.
+
+
* A video server.
+
** This is not the intention and it's not practical for MPD to be a video server. Something more along the lines of [http://www.videolan.org/ Video Lan Client] would probably be a great alternative if looking to control and view video remotely.
