mpd & dynamic ip[SOLVED]

Just out of curiosity, is there a way to get mpd to bind to a dynamically assigned address?

Basically, I want to be able to control mpd from my android xD

Get a dynamic DNS from a provider like dyndns.com or no-ip.org. If MPD is set to listen on 0.0.0.0, it will listen on any available interfaces.

I was thinking for a solution within the scopes of a LAN only, since I only want to control it when Im within ear range of my computer anyway xD

Still, binding to 0.0.0.0 should make any IP work
