QUIMUP
version 1.3.1
for MPD 0.16.0 and above
__________________________________________________________________________
QUIMUP is a client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD) written in c++ and
QT4. The program can be used with most Linux desktops (KDE, GNOME, XFCE)
and is covered by the General Public License (see LICENSE below).
The clean interface makes controlling MPD's features easy and intuitive.
The focus is on mouse handling: playlist management is done entirely by
drag-&-drop; all playback functions are accessible from the system tray.
Quimup aims to turn MPD into a perfect desktop music player.

USING QUIMUP
CHECK OUT : FAQ.txt
CHECK OUT : TIPS IN THE SETTINGS WINDOW's ABOUT TAB
If MPD is configured correctly it's all click, drag and drop really.
EXTERNAL FILES
Files that are not in the database can be dropped on the player or on the
playlist. Alternatively use the 'send to' or 'open with' command in your
file manager or create a custom 'action'(pass %U or %F).
But this will only work if the connection with mpd is established through
a so called socket. In MPD's configuration file the 'bind_to_address' must
point to "/home/USER/.mpd/socket" (replace USER with the name of your home
dir). In Quimup's login profile (in the settings window) 'Host' must be
set exactly the same.
It may be necessary to associate relevant file types to 'open with'
Quimup (this is usually done in the file's 'properties' tab).
