Sheesh, running a Wiktionary includes FIRING UP Apache in a LAMP environment.
A wiki is a CMS tool, so why would we create BIAS for MPD (a music product)
based on their use of a highly configurable, FOSS developed and supported,
Wiki? Many php developers now customize CMS modules rather than write their
own (non-secure, unchecked code). Why not?

Oh, sorry.
Don't care about plugins, [...] I have mp3, ogg, and flac files, [...]
MPD seems like a cool idea, [...] Does anyone have any
experience with it? I'm a bit concerned because its "website" is a Wikia
entry. :/
Thanks!

I **do not** know anything about MPD; but here's my 0.02 about projects:
> I'm a bit concerned because its "website" is a Wikia entry. :/
Maybe they are just more focused on MPD itself, vs. running a web server. (see
http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/What_MPD_Is_and_Is_Not )
IMHO, that might be good.
Anecdote: In Austin (where I used to live) (probably before you were born),
some customers of BBQ places used to love it if they saw a
BBQ place where the building was dilapidated. They tended to
figure (rightly or wrongly) that it meant that the place was focusing attention
on the food, not on impressing people with the architecture, the interior
decorating, the atmosphere, etc.
YMMV. I know that in some cases, a restaurant can look nice and also have good
food.
But the > [...] "website" is a Wikia entry

By the way, according to http://www.facebook.com/group.php?&gid=8270649581
(the facebook "group" for 'mpd'),it says [quote:]
<<Music Player Daemon is a small no-nonsense music player. It handles all
important audio formats and http streams. As a daemon, it does not depend on X
to run, and you are free to choose a user interface that suits you best.
