mpdas

mpdas is a MPD AudioScrobbler client supporting the 2.0 protocol specs.

It is written in C++ and uses libmpdclient to retrieve the song data from MPD and libcurl to post it to Last.fm

Features

• Sets now-playing status
• Scrobbling (obviously)
• Caching
• Config files
• User switching
• "Love" tracks on Last.fm (e.g. with mpc sendmessage mpdas love and mpc sendmessage mpdas unlove to revert)

Configuration

NOTE: There is a manpage available as well: man mpdas

To configure mpdas, simply create a file called .mpdasrc in your home directory or in $PREFIX/mpdasrc. To change $PREFIX, modify the Makefile.

Syntax is easy. Example:

username = lastfmuser
password = password

NOTE: In the past the password had to be an MD5 hash. As of v0.4.3 this has changed due to Last.fm deprecating the previous authentication method. Please supply the password in plain-text from now on.

Configuration options

• username: Last.FM username
• password: Last.FM password (plain-text)
• host: MPD Host
• mpdpassword: MPD Password
• port: MPD Port
• runas: Change the user mpdas runs as
• debug: Print debug information
• service: Will scrobble to Libre.fm if set to "librefm"
