mpd client doesn't work

here's my  mpd.conf

music_directory       "/home/freenight/music"

playlist_directory    "/var/lib/mpd/playlists"
db_file               "/var/lib/mpd/db"
log_file              "/var/log/mpd/mpd.log"
error_file            "/var/log/mpd/mpd.error"
pid_file              "/var/run/mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file            "/var/lib/mpd/mpdstate"
user                  "mpd"

# Binding to address and port causing problems in mpd-0.14.2 best to leave commented.
# bind_to_address       "127.0.0.1"
# port                  "6600"

#audio_output {
#  type      "alsa"
#  name      "My ALSA Device"
#  device    "hw:0,0"  # optional
#  format    "44100:16:2"  # optional
#}

and i have configured mpd the same way as arch wiki. and the mpd database have been created correctly. but when I run a mpd client(ario) , the play button didn't work. why was that? what't wrong with my config?

Re: mpd client doesn't work

have you tried mpc play or any other client to determine that this is an mpd problem and not a problem with ario?
also run ario from term and see if it spits out any error messages when you try and click play.
