mpd controlled from another windows computer?

[Cool Javelin]

Is there a windows (XP) based program that will control mpd running on a different Linux server?

Hi friends

I have mpd and mpc working on my text only server playing stuff throughout the house. My wife (having no Linux experience) would like to select songs, volume, etc, Can someone suggest a client that will run on Windows that will control the mpd via the lan?

Some tips on setting it up might be helpful too.

Thanks,
Mark.

lmarmisa, thanks.

I went with Gmpc, downloaded and installed on my XP and it seems to run OK.

It can't find my mpd player, I am sure I have the connection settings wrong.

What do I put in connections, and what do I need to change in my mpd.conf file?

I made my host say legolas (the name of my ubuntu server running mpd.)

I also tried mark@legolas, neither works.

On the server, I feel I need to do something to the "bind_to_address" setting in mpd.conf, but I don't know what to put here.

Any help?

Thanks.
Mark.
