CAVEATS

- Requires MPD to be running in the background.
 
- In order for multimedia keys to function, the frontend must be run from X11, either in a console, or at X login.
 
- Requires that X11 has been configured to understand the mediakeys, either via the g15daemon xmodmap file, or a similar keyboard being selected in X configuration.
 
- Currently, playlist management is not available, so another mpd frontend will be required to create
one.
