# Chapter 5. Using MPD

## The client

After you have installed, configured and started MPD, you choose a client to control the playback.

The most basic client is `mpc`, which provides a command line interface. It is useful in shell scripts. Many people bind specific `mpc` commands to hotkeys.

The MPD Wiki contains an extensive list of clients to choose from.
