In there is a folder called EXCLUDE which contains files I want to keep but don't want in moOde. Inside that folder I place a file called .mpdignore inside which I have a single asterisk, *. The * is the wildcard, means match everything. So mpd comes along and read the .mpdignore file and ingnores everything it finds that matches, which in this case is everything.
I could have put *.flac in the file, then mpd would only ignore everything that had a .flac file type. Or Q* would ignore anything that starts with a Q.
Ok, that might work for me I will give it a go, thanks for the explanation.
