Hi,

Re: [SOLVED] MPD - Failde to listen on 6600

What exactly is the problem? Looks all fine to me.. Did you install a client, e.g. Sonata or ncmpcpp?

P.S.: "MPD - Failde to listen on 6600" - its just because an mpd instance is already running, since you started the daemon in /etc/rc.d/. Try to connect with a client and see if it works.

I thought mpd was not working with the mpc stats prompt but in fact it was just because i didn't have any playlist.
After installing ario all was fine.

As you said, everything was ok.
