The setting :code:`bind_to_address` specifies which addresses :program:`MPD` listens on for connections from clients. The default is "any", which binds to all available addresses.
The setting :code:`bind_to_address` specifies which addresses
:program:`MPD` listens on for connections from clients. It can be
used multiple times to bind to more than one address. Example::
You can set a port that is different from the global port setting, e.g. "localhost:6602". IPv6 addresses must be enclosed in square brackets if you want to configure a port, e.g. "[::1]:6602".
bind_to_address "192.168.1.42"
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
To bind to a local socket (UNIX domain socket), specify an absolute path or a path starting with a tilde (~). Some clients default to connecting to :file:`/var/run/mpd/socket` so this may be a good choice.

choice::
bind_to_address "/var/run/mpd/socket"
If no port is specified, the default port is 6600. This default can
be changed with the port setting::
port "6601"
If no port is specified, the default port is 6600. This default can be changed with the port setting.
