Development sources of a new MPD client for Android.
This whole project is licensed under the GPLv3 or later license (see LICENSE)
Mopidy (2.0.1) is currently not supported, because it tells clients that it is implementing MPD protocol version 0.19 but is not correctly following the MPD protocol specification (Issue).
- Android 5.0
- MPD >= 0.14
- Artist/Album/Files library browsing
- AlbumArtist filtering

- Server-based search
- Local fast search
- Basic playlist management (add songs to saved lists, remove songs from saved lists, remove lists, save lists)
- Multiple server profiles
- Server statistics (here is also the update database button)
- Artwork support with MusicBrainz,Last.fm, Fanart.tv as artwork provider (Album, artist images and fullscreen fanart)
- Fanart view for tablets or stuff like that (click on the cover in the now playing view, or select fullscreen mode from menu)
- Bulkdownloader to download all artwork to local memory
This MPD client is tested with MPD 0.14 and MPD 0.19.
As MPD 0.19 has some features that really improve the user experience I would recommend using at least 0.19.
This MPD client works best with accurately taged music libraries. I recommend tagging using MusicBrainz Picard
Starting with MPD 0.19 it is possible to filter list requests which allows this client to use the AlbumArtist and Artist tag for retrieval of albums. So if you have a lot of "Greatest Hits" albums you will get a list entry for each one of it.
With earlier versions you will get only one entry, that merges all "Greatest Hits" albums to one (if you are not browsing over the artist list first).
If you think an album is missing tracks, try the "Show all Tracks" in the menu of the right upper corner
This client also parses the MusicBrainz tags that MPD provides to accelerate artwork downloading.
If the version of MPD is new enough, it can use ranged playlist retrieval of the current playlist, so that only the viewed parts of the playlist are fetched from the server (MPD v. 0.15 and greater).
