[SOLVED] mpd is filling journal log

Hello,

I use mpd along with mpc for music. Installed according to the Arch Wiki. It works fine but I found out it's spamming the journal with this:

 # journalctl --since "10 sec ago"
Apr 01 17:20:23 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] process command "status"
Apr 01 17:20:23 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] command returned 0
Apr 01 17:20:23 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] process command "currentsong"
Apr 01 17:20:23 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] command returned 0
Apr 01 17:20:24 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] process command "status"
Apr 01 17:20:24 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] command returned 0
Apr 01 17:20:24 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] process command "currentsong"
Apr 01 17:20:24 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] command returned 0
Apr 01 17:20:25 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] process command "status"
Apr 01 17:20:25 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] command returned 0
Apr 01 17:20:25 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] process command "currentsong"
Apr 01 17:20:25 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] command returned 0
Apr 01 17:20:26 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] process command "status"
Apr 01 17:20:26 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] command returned 0
Apr 01 17:20:26 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] process command "currentsong"
Apr 01 17:20:26 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] command returned 0
Apr 01 17:20:27 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] process command "status"
Apr 01 17:20:27 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] command returned 0
Apr 01 17:20:27 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] process command "currentsong"
Apr 01 17:20:27 arch mpd[484]: client: [0] command returned 0

It does not look critical but is that normal behavior?
(I have tried editing mpd.service adding LogLevelMax=2 and also with StandardOutput=null with no success.)

Edit: I have an option in conky that displays the current played song, when conky is not running those log lines don't occur...
