mpd: Start MPD but don't read from the configuration file.

$ mpd --no-config

try on your machine

The command "mpd --no-config" is used to start the Music Player Daemon (MPD) without using a configuration file.

MPD is a flexible and powerful music player server that allows you to play and manage a music library. By default, MPD reads its configuration from a file (typically located at /etc/mpd.conf or ~/.mpdconf). However, with the "--no-config" option, MPD ignores this configuration file and starts with default settings.

When you run "mpd --no-config," MPD will start with a minimal configuration, using default values for options such as audio output, music directory, and network settings. This can be useful if you just want to quickly start MPD without customizing any settings in a configuration file.

Keep in mind that without a configuration file, you won't have any customizations or advanced settings applied. If you need specific configurations or want to customize MPD, you should create or modify the configuration file and provide it as an argument to the "mpd" command.
