M.A.L.P. - MPD Client 1.3.2

This application serves as a remote control for the Music Player Daemon (MPD) and provides users with extensive functionality for managing their music library.

For support regarding this application, users are encouraged to open an issue at our GitLab repository (GitLab Repository) or contact us via the provided email address. Additionally, frequently asked questions can be found here, which may assist in resolving common issues.

For those unfamiliar with MPD seeking an Android music player, we suggest exploring Odyssey, which features a similar user interface to this application (Odyssey on Google Play).

This client effectively implements numerous functionalities of the daemon, enabling comprehensive media control and management. Notably, it utilizes the album artist tag to differentiate albums sharing titles, such as "Greatest Hits."

To optimize user experience, it is recommended that music is tagged using the MusicBrainz library, as these data tags facilitate the retrieval of artwork for both artists and albums.

Features:

• Browsing capabilities for Artist, Album, Files, and saved playlists
• AlbumArtist filtering
• MBID filtering, allowing access to multiple albums with identical AlbumArtist and title when MusicBrainzID is available
• Support for local and server-based searches
• Basic playlist management options (add/remove songs from saved lists, delete lists, save lists)
• Launcher widget
• Optional notifications (configurable in settings)
• Background volume control using hardware buttons (notifications must be enabled)
• Support for multiple server profiles
• Server statistics for database update requests
• Output control features
• Artwork support from providers such as MusicBrainz, Last.fm, and Fanart.tv (includes album and artist images)
• Fanart view suitable for tablets and wide-screen devices (accessible by clicking on the cover in the now playing view or selecting fullscreen mode from the menu)
