The mpd platform allows you to control a [Music Player Daemon](http://www.musicpd.org/) from Home Assistant. Unfortunatly you will not be able to manipulate the playlist (add or delete songs) or add transitions between the songs. 

To add MPD to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  platform: mpd
  server: 127.0.0.1
  port: 6600
  location: bedroom
```
