==Setting Up mpd/ncmpc Music Player==<br />
<br />
If you want to use a console music player for your music on hard drive the combination of mpd and ncmpc works very well. (ncmpcpp is another cool cli client for mpd installed in antiX-M8.5)<br />
<br />
Firstly install mpd, mpc, ncmpc or ncmpcpp.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
#apt-get install mpd mpc ncmpc<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
mpd is started by default, but it needs to be configured to point to your music directory.<br />
<br />
Open rox-filer as root - open terminal <br />
<pre><br />
antiX@1[~]$ sux<br />
antiX@1[~]$ password<br />
antiX@1[~]$ rox<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
navigate to /etc/ folder and open the mpd.conf file. Scroll to this part<br />
<pre><br />
######################## REQUIRED PATHS ########################<br />
# You can put symlinks in here, if you like. Make sure that<br />
# the user that mpd runs as (see the 'user' config parameter)<br />
# can read the files in this directory.<br />
music_directory "/mnt/hda5/Music"<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
and enter your music directory.<br />
<br />
Make sure that this exists<br />
<pre>######################## OPTIONAL PATHS ########################<br />
#<br />
# If specified, MPD will save its current state (playlist,<br />
# current song, playing/paused, etc.) at exit. This will be<br />
# used to restore the session the next time it is run.<br />
#<br />
state_file "/var/lib/mpd/state"<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Save file and close rox-filer.<br />
<br />
Back in the same root terminal.<br />
<pre><br />
mpd --create-db<br />
</pre><br />
This may take some time as the daemon creates a database of all your audio files you specified.<br />
<br />
Once finished, close the terminal. [You might need to reboot at this point or restart mpd as root in a terminal]<br />
<pre><br />
/etc/init.d/mpd start<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
'''ncmpc client'''<br />
<br />
Open Audio/video>ncmpc.<br />
<br />
Hit F3 or 3 and you should see a list of your music folders/files. Open each folder by pressing 'Enter' and to play hit 'Enter' button. <br />
<br />
To add to playlist, hit the 'Space' bar. <br />
<br />
To play files in playlist navigate to F2 or 2.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other cli audio players'''<br />
<br />
As from antiX-M8.2, moc (music on console) is installed and set up ready to play.<br />
<br />
antiX-M8.5 comes with mpdpss which saves the current position of playlists.<br />
