################# FILESYSTEM SETTINGS ####################
#
# If the names of files or directories are 
# not correctly displayed then set the 
# following to the filesystem coding. 
#
#	Usually this is either:
#	ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8
#
# After changing the filesystem_charset
# you will need to recreate the db:
#	mpd --create-db
#
#filesystem_charset "ISO-8859-1"
#
##########################################################


#################### OPTIONAL FILES ######################
#
# The state file (if set) will be a file
# for storing all current information 
# (playlist, playing/paused, etc...) from
# the last MPD session. This will be used
# to recreate your last MPD session after
# restart.
#
#state_file		"~/.mpd/mpdstate"

#
# Use Replay Gain (album or track)

#replaygain		"album"
#
# Sets the pre-amp used for files that have replaygain
# info.  Valid values are between -15 to 15 (in dB).
#
#replaygain_preamp	"0"
#
# Normalization increases the amplitude of the audio
# waveform to the maximum level without introducing any 
# distortion into the recording. This option will 
# normalize when replaygain is not on, utilizing the 
# CPU for calculation.
#
#volume_normalization	"yes"

################ OUTPUT BUFFER SETTINGS ##################
#
# You should not need to mess with this
# unless you know what you're doing.

# the buffer before it begins playing.

################# SECURITY SETTINGS ######################
#
