Playlists including the favorites playlist are located in /var/lib/mpd/playlists/
The Setup guide contains info on how to update volume and send commands via http or ssh.



Thanks for quick response (and for all your hard work on this amazing system).

I can see how to do almost everything.  I was surprised that if I start a stream with mpc clear; mpc add <url>; mpc play, then the cover art automatically appears.

Still having some difficulty identifying how the station cover art is linked to the playlists, or how to access favorites,  but I might be able to work around this by manually deleting all stations that I don't want.  i guess there is no way to grab a bunch of stations and bin them (like in a finder setup)?  Or if I wanted to do from the command line, could I delete all stations of a particular family using wildcards? rm *flux*?
