ympd – MPD Web based GUI

Last Updated on August 11, 2021

Summary

ympd is simple to set up, works well, and doesn’t require a web server. Sadly it only offers a very basic feature set. But for some folks, it’ll still tick all the boxes. And because it’s a front-end to MPD, important features like gapless playback are automatically supported.

ympd is not under active development with the last release back in February 2016. But as ympd is open source, you can always fork the code and carry on development.

I’m going to cover myMPD in my next review. myMPD is a fork of ympd that extends functionality in so many different areas. Unlike ympd, myMPD is under active development.
