About M.A.L.P. - MPD Client

This application is a remote control for the music player daemon (www.musicpd.org).

* For support for this application please open an issue at our GitHub repository ( https://github.com/gateship-one/malp ) or use the given email address *

This application works with every mpd above version 0.14 but to get the best performance and features we recommend to use at least version 0.15 (for playlist performance). Consider updating to the newest version.

This application has workarounds for Mopidy, it may or may not work. No support for Mopidy, as this is an MPD client.

If you don't know MPD and are looking for a music player for android, we recommend you have a look into Odyssey, which shares the same user interface with this application. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.gateshipone.odyssey )

The client implements most of the daemons functionality so that full media control and management is possible.


To filter albums this client uses the album artist tag (if available) to filter multiple albums with the same title (e.g. Greatest Hits)

We recommend that your music is tagged with musicbrainz library to get the best experience as the data tags are used to fetch artwork for artists and albums.

Features:
* Artist/Album/Files, saved playlist library browsing
* AlbumArtist filtering
* MBID filtering (multiple albums with same AlbumArtist and title can be accessed separately if MusicBrainzID is available)
* Local & server-based search
* Basic playlist management (add songs to saved lists, remove songs from saved lists, remove lists, save lists)
* Launcher widget
* Optional notification (enable in settings)
* Background volume control via hardware buttons (only with notification enabled)
* Multiple server profiles
* Server statistics (use this to request a database update)
* Output control
* Artwork support with MusicBrainz,Last.fm, Fanart.tv as artwork provider (Album, artist images)
* Fanart view for tablets or stuff like that (click on the cover in the now playing view, or select fullscreen mode from menu), best used on widescreen devices in landscape mode.

by G####:

this is the one you want to get, not mpdroid. adds albums to playlists in correct order. interface is easier to use. nice work!

G70%
by G####:

Great app with a very nice user interface. One feature request: an option to set an cover art folder path to load covers from your music player, like most MPD players have.

O70%
by O####:

UI is straight up hideous but the important thing is that it works, and it's fast, which is more than can be said for any of the other MPD clients on google play.

Z70%
by Z####:

It's a pity, it seems it can't playback audio from server on local Android device.

Z70%
by Z####:

A great little app that really comes to life as soon as it connects to your mpd server. Congrats to the developers!

S70%
by S####:

Bitmpc stopped working so I downloaded the first mpd client that came up in the store not expecting much. But wow, this is so much better than any mobile mpd client I've ever used. Better than most desktop ones too.

Z70%
by Z####:

Normally I rarely write about apps but this one is the best Android player. After using and discarding mpd clients on various platforms I always enjoyed using M.A.L.P. for its great multi profile management and clean UI. It is the perfect interface for an old tablet to your sound setups. Hell, it could be my startup shell.

Z70%
by Z####:

Not only is it the best MPD client on any platform that I've tried so far, it's a very nicely done Android app in its own right, complete with gorgeous colour themes and a clean and easy to use Material Design interface.

Z70%
by Z####:

Works ok and looks good, but ... Albums with 'various artists' are shown repeatedly (e.g. for every track) in album list. No wifi based connection profiles and no local cover art.

Amazing!

Z70%
by Z####:

Awesome. Best among similar applications. I'm waiting for stream functionality. Also, I would like to be able to open files that are located outside of music_directory.

Z70%
by Z####:

Cannot keep connection in background very well (even without any energy saving mode turned on)

Z70%
by Z####:

Works well. Fast and pretty.

Z70%

Great UI, does the job

Z70%
by Z####:

Best mpd controller

F70%
by F####:

What I especially liked about this app is the ability to create profiles for different mpd servers. It is also very configurable, and easy to use. I would like to suggest an option to sort albums by year.

by Z####:

Lanjutkan

Z70%
by Z####:

Awesome remote, fast and responsive plus it pull the artwork from the server. Yes I used IP address and it worked no problem.

Z70%
by Z####:

great! love how easy it is to get the radio stream bitrate info whilst playing

B70%
by B####:

Can't use an IP address? Into the trash. EDIT: developer replied and said I could use an IP address, but I tried again just now, and once again, it does not accept an IP address, if you try to use one, the button in the bottom right does nothing, and if I press back, it will save all settings except for the address.

F70%
by F####:

This is the ONLY Android MPD client I've found which allows searching on ALL tags configured on the MPD server side. I specify the date added in the "Comments" tags of all my music and now I can finally use it from my tablet and phone. That plus all the other features/functionality make this one of the best MPD client apps I've tried. [Update] The developer just updated the app with the ONE missing feature I was looking for: A widget to control operations from the home screen! That was the one thing holding me back from switching to it as my sole MPD client. Great job guys!

Z70%
by Z####:

This app is really easy to use - supports multiple mpd servers, and works with mpd DLNA backend... other clients which I tried either didn't work at all with DLNA or were cumbersome to use. This app ticks all boxes for me...

Z70%
by Z####:

can't wait for http streaming support (e.g. from icecast) in the future

O70%
by O####:

Even though It does not run om my Tablet (lenovo idea a1000f with android 4.1.2), this version fulfills my request that the volume button on my phone controls the mpd player volume. So, as stated in previous review, that rounds up to 5-star ;) Good job, Thnx

Z70%
by Z####:

This is the only MPD control I tried that runs fast and smooth and doesn't try to download the whole library at start. I have over 30k tracks, so this is quite vital. Despite some features I miss here, M.A.L.P. is surely the nicest, thank you!

A70%
by A####:

Cool app guys. Keep up the good work. I use it with moode on raspberry pi, works great. One nice feature would be to flush the artwork/pictures per album/artist basis and not remove them all. And also to be able to choose an artwork/picture when multiple files are available.

Z70%
by Z####:

Very nice MPD client. Would be awesome if it worked with wear as well but can't fault the phone controls

Z70%
by Z####:

Finally a player that works well, with an intuitive interface and server profiles!

N70%
by N####:

Simple and to the point. Just works!

Y70%
by Y####:

Nice work

Z70%
by Z####:

Great mpd client but needs the ability to use local album artwork from http server.

U70%
by U####:

I tested a lot of MPD Android clients, and this is simply the best app. This client is beautiful, simple to use, UI is awesome !
