playing tunes from archives

[Tim Curtis]

1. Save current MPD 0.20.20 just in case

Code:

cd ~
cp /usr/local/bin/mpd ./mpd-0.20.20

2. Download and unzip MPD 0.21.3

Code:

wget http://moodeaudio.org/test/mpd-0.21.3-archivetest.zip
unzip mpd-0.21.3-archivetest.zip
rm mpd-0.21.3-archivetest.zip

3. Install dev libs. All of these except for libbz2-dev and libzzip-dev should already be installed and at newest version.

Code:

sudo apt-get -y install \
libyajl-dev \
libasound2-dev \
libavahi-client-dev \
libavcodec-dev \
libavformat-dev \
libboost-dev \
libbz2-dev \
libcdio-paranoia-dev \
libcurl4-gnutls-dev \
libfaad-dev \
libflac-dev \
libglib2.0-dev \
libicu-dev \
libid3tag0-dev \
libiso9660-dev \
libmad0-dev \
libmpdclient-dev \
libmpg123-dev \
libmp3lame-dev \
libshout3-dev \
libsoxr-dev \
libsystemd-dev \
libvorbis-dev \
libwavpack-dev \
libwrap0-dev \
libzzip-dev

4. Install new build of MPD with archive support

Code:

sudo mv mpd-0.21.3-archivetest /usr/local/bin/mpd
sudo systemctl restart mpd

The MPD database should automatically start updating. Wait till finished then try to play some archives :-)
