Hi!
When I run ‘mpc’, I only get the line:
`volume: 98% repeat: on random: off single: off consume: off`
even when a song is playing. So mpc is connecting to the mpd server but not getting the full information.
I found that I have a service ‘mpd’ running which is even running when I stop the service ‘mopidy’. When I stop ‘mpd’ and have ‘mopidy’ running, mpc is not connecting anymore. Is this extra ‘mpd’ service part of the mopidy installation?
What’s going wrong with my mpd server?
I run mopidy 2.0.1 on Raspbian Jessie.
Here is my config: [http://pastebin.com/WzZKTdyQ](http://pastebin.com/WzZKTdyQ)

No, that sounds like you also have the [`mpd`](https://www.musicpd.org/) program installed and running. Mopidy’s MPD compatible server runs within the `mopidy` service.
Your config looks fine so I would guess that Mopidy’s MPD server was not able to start because [`mpd`](https://www.musicpd.org/) 's server had already started on port 6600 (only one process can bind to a particular port at a time). You should have seen an error message reporting this in Mopidy’s log. Have you tried leaving `mpd` disabled/stopped and restarting `mopidy`?

Just stopping `mpd` and restarting `mopidy` was not enough but removing the `mpd` package worked. Thanks!

Hmm, not sure I understand why but glad it’s working.

I am using snapcast and this extra mpd server seems to be part of that, since snapcast is not running without it. But changing the port of mopidy-mpd to something else lets me access it with mpc.
