NAME
       mpd-dynamic - a dynamic playlist for mpd

VERSION
       version 2.000

DESCRIPTION
       This program implements a dynamic playlist for MPD, build on top of the
       Audio::MPD perl module.

       MPD (music player daemon) is a cool music player, but it lacks a
       dynamic playlist. A dynamic playlist is a playlist that will change
       automatically over time. In particular, it will remove already played
       songs (keeping at most a given number of songs) and add new songs to
       the playlist so it never fall short of songs.

       Note that since mpd is a daemon needing no gui to work, "mpd-dynamic"
       is also a daemon. That is, it will fork and do all its work from the
       background.  This way, you can fire "mpd" and "mpd-dynamic" and forget
       completely about your music (especially since "mpd-dynamic" is a low-
       resource program): it will just be there! :-)

USAGE
           mpd-dynamic [options]

OPTIONS
   General behaviour
       You can customize the usage of mpd-dynamic with the following options:

       -o[ld] <old>
           Number of old tracks to keep in the backlog. Defaults to 10.

       -n[ew] <new>
           Number of new tracks to keep in the to-be-played playlist. Defaults
           to 10.

       -s[leep] <sleep>
           Time spent sleeping (in seconds) before checking if playlist should
           be updated. Default to 5 seconds.

       -d[ebug]
           Run mpd-dynamic in debug mode. In particular, the program will not
           daemonize itself. Default to false.

       -e[ncoding] <encoding>
           Print debug messages with this encoding. Since mpd-dynamic is meant
           to be a silent daemon, this option will not be used outside of
           debug mode. Default to "utf-8".

       --version
       --usage
       --help
       --man
           Print the usual program information

       Note however that those flags are optional: since "mpd-dynamic" comes
       with some sane defaults, you can fire "mpd-dynamic" as is.

   Ratings
       You can also take advantage of ratings if you want. With those options,
       songs need to have at least a given rating (or no rating yet) to be
       inserted: this way, you will only listen to your favorite songs!

       Ratings can be created / updated with "mpd-rate".

       Note that if you supply a non-existant rating db-file, the rating
       mechanism will be ignored. The following options control the rating
       mechanism:

       -r[atings] <ratings>
           The path of a db file with the ratings per song. The keys are the
           song path (relative to MPD root), and the value is an integer (the
           rating). Default to "~/.mpd/ratings.db".

       -m[in[imum]] <min>
           The minimum rating for a song to be inserted in the playlist.
           Default to 4.
