Sound via Command Line

mpd is a music playing daemon [mpd.wikia.com], this means its a server side service that runs on your RPi in the background. mpd builds and maintains a database of all your music so you can access it with a client for anywhere on our network.

Once properly configured mpd can be controlled via the command line utilities using a client tool such as mpc [1] or a console client like ncmpcpp. Graphical clients also exist.

sudo apt-get install mpd mpc ncmpcpp

This command will install the tools we need and automatically resolve a stack of dependencies. On my system it took about 10m to install everything.
