Well done on making Mac stuff!
Are there any publicly accessible servers I can connect to in order to try this out please?
Can I use it for anything without a server?
Thanks.
Thank you, ovalking.
Although it's possible in theory to have a public MPD instance, I haven't found any. I would imagine most that are even accessible over the internet would have password protection (which MacMPD doesn't support... yet?).
As far as I know, any client connected to MPD has full control over the playback queue and transport, so using a public server would be annoying in that regard too.
I'm afraid that MacMPD is simply not of use without an instance of MPD to connect to.
MPD can be installed quite easily on practically any *nix, and also Windows and Android, and removed just as easily.
Cheers,
Ivan
