Hi everyone, been stumped on this for about a day if someone might be able to assist.
Recently setup mpd, as I would like to use the ncmpcpp-git package. I set it up according to the wiki pages, however ncmpcpp has no sound. I can load an mp3 and have it play through mpd, so the issue seems to only be related to ncmpcpp.
Note: I've set mpd up using the local configuration method: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mp … er_user.29
I've setup ncmpcpp using this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ncmpcpp

Additionally, none of the visualizations work - if someone might have a suggestion for that. Thanks.

Thanks. I fixed that and still didn't get any play. For some reason the area where it's supposed to show what song is playing would only come on and blink for a second, then vanish.
I actually reinstalled mpd and ncmpcpp-git, but this time included all the optional dependencies and it seemed to solve it. This guide helped too: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … mpd-guide/

Unix/Linux files and directories are case sensitive; whatever other issues you had, it wasn't going to work with {M,m}usic...

Yep. I've been around unix/linux for a bit (not so long on this distro). Was just a typo.....
