Playing music with the MPC + MPD in Gentoo

Introduction to MPD and nmpc:

• Why MPD + NMIS used?
  In Linux, there are a lot of good music players, such as Amarok, simple, such as BMP, and I prefer PC (requires MPD installation). Simplicity is why I chose it. Every time you start the system, automatically open the daemon musicpd (MPD for short). This is like a potential karaoke device. With the terminal, you can choose to listen to your favorite songs without any interface, you do not have to open a single desktop for a music player.
  The combination of MPC and conky allows you to make boot music. The combination of MPC and remind uses music to remind you of certain things. The daemon MPD is like a powerful karaoke device. You can easily select your favorite singers and albums, and it is not inferior to the GUI music player.
  We can also use conky to display the MPD on the desktop, the song name, the singer name, And the playing process. design our own music player.

• MPD
  MPD (music player Daemon): It is very different from most common players. It is a C/S-structured music player. As a daemon program running on the background, MPD uses a variety of client software to control playing actions and playlists. It occupies a small amount of resources and I liked this method from the very beginning.
  This is something that can play music in the background. It saves a lot of resources and has nothing to do with X. It can be played in the same way on the terminal. In addition, you can use a variety of DMPS for front-end control.
  MPD has many advantages. It has simple configuration but rich functions. For example, you can select an audio device, a mixer device, and ID3 encoding. The biggest benefit is the separation of playing music and the management front-end. This allows you to use the most simple MPD client of the PC to control playing, or use a powerful MPD client such as GPC and qmpdclient to manage music.
