[Solved]No music is showed in ncmpcpp.

I set up mpd and ncmpcpp but my musics is not showed.
It's the first time I install this.

~/.mpd/mpd.conf

 bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"

 audio_output {  

     type  "pulse"  
     name  "pulse audio"
     device         "pulse" 
     mixer_type      "hardware" 
 }  

audio_output {
    type                    "fifo"
    name                    "my_fifo"

I have 3 exceptions but I don't think that's the problem.
With ncmpcpp I'm connected to mpd, I also pressed 'u' to update the database.

mpc stats

If seth's suggestion shows that you have songs, then it occurs to me that since ncmpcpp starts up with an empty playlist (screen 1) by default, you may have installed everything correctly and then got confused by the interface. Did you try pressing '2' to go to the file browser screen?

If I press 2 on ncmpcpp:

For browsing local  filesystem connection to MPD via UNIX Socket is required

In ~/Music I have my musics, in FLAC and MP3 format.

My conf file was not correct, thank for the help

mpc update

If that works (i.e. mpc stats then shows songs,) then mpd is okay, and it is ncmpcpp that is misconfigured.
