forked-daapd is meant to be used with the clients mentioned above, so it does
not have a command line interface nor does it have a web interface. You can,
however, to some extent control forked-daapd from the command line by issuing
DAAP/DACP commands with a program like curl. Here is an example of how to do
that.

## MPD clients
If forked-daapd was build with support for the [Music Player Deamon](http://musicpd.org/)
protocol (see the [INSTALL](INSTALL) file) you can - to some extent - use clients for MPD
to control forked-daapd.
By default forked-daapd listens on port 6600 for MPD clients. You can change this by
adding a section "mpd" to the forked-daapd.conf file:
```
# MPD configuration (only have effect if MPD enabled - see README/INSTALL)
mpd {
port = 8800
}
```
Currently only a subset of the commands offered by MPD (see [MPD protocol documentation](http://www.musicpd.org/doc/protocol/))
are supported by forked-daapd.
Due to some differences between forked-daapd and MPD not all commands will act the same way they would running MPD:
- consume, crossfade, mixrampdb, mixrampdelay and replaygain will have no effect
- single, repeat: unlike MPD forked-daapd does not support setting single and repeat separately
on/off, instead repeat off, repeat all and repeat single are supported. Thus setting single on
will result in repeat single, repeat on results in repeat all.
Following table shows what is working for a selection of MPD clients:
| Client | Type | Status |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------ | --------------- |
| [mpc](http://www.musicpd.org/clients/mpc/) | CLI | Working commands: mpc, add, crop, current, del (ranges are not yet supported), play, next, prev (behaves like cdprev), pause, toggle, cdprev, seek, clear, playlist, ls, load, volume, repeat, random, single, update (initiates an init-rescan, the path argument is not supported) |
| [ympd](http://www.ympd.org/) | Web | Everything except "search" should work |
