   * [[MPDroid]] - It's the only [[Android]] client in [[F-Droid]] that works on [[samsung_sm-t330|my old tablet]] (Android 4.4).
   * [[MALP]] - Android client that's pretty similar to [[MPDroid]], but kinda still being worked on. Playlist management features are lacking. I prefer MPDroid.
-  * [[myMPD]] - Light, browser-based client.

 The files you need are in ''/opt/MPD/'', to start you'll want to get into the config. file at ''/opt/MPD/etc/mpd.conf''

 Got stuck on this for a bit because it's weird.
-The ''playlist_directory'' you configure is meant for [[playlists|playlists]] made with MPD. Deceptively, it uses ''.m3u'' files, but they're not standard: They're a plain list of file paths relative to configured ''music_directory'', they work just fine with [[Unicode]], they  don't use the ''#EXTM3U'' header, and if you create them outside of MPD and put them here they won't read the first line.
+The ''playlist_directory'' you configure is meant for [[playlists|playlists]] made with MPD.

 You can, however, load many kinds of playlists from other directories, but I've had mixed results with this: [[MPDroid]] doesn't seem to see playlists in ''music_directory'', so I've only had luck using absolute paths; [[ncmpcpp]] shows playlists from ''playlist_directory'' and ''music_directory'' on the browse page, and the ones in ''music_directory'' work fine with relative paths.

 If you load this in MPD, then resave it, it'll sort out that first line silliness.
+==== Cover Art ====
+MPD now supports cover art. It'll grab any image in the same directory as the file called ''cover.[png|jpg|tiff|bmp]''.
