What I ended up doing: Main file server that has all the media runs MPD and maintains the database, and three client machines run MPD in a proxy mode. https://www.musicpd.org/doc/user/advanced_config.html#satellite from mpd.conf on a client: ########## Use remote MPD database # db_file "/var/spool/mpd/mpd.db" database { plugin "proxy" host "home_file_server_name_here.home" } ###################################### Request to update the database to a client MPD gets relayed to the main one, so it all looks transparent. Still have to mount the filesystem with the music files on the clients. May be this can give you some new ideas for your setup. -- Andre
