Build your own Wifi radio

Step 3Add an external mpd client

Add an external mpd client
At this stage, you could close the router again and use an external mpd client to control your radio. In this instructable we will also build an interface but having a way to acces the player while testing is always good.

You can download a lot of mpd clients at http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Clients, even for you Iphone. I downloaded and installed the Ario client. To do so, I needed to install GTK+ too ( http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/home/index.php/en/Downloads).

When you have installed the program, you need to set up the connection.  By host you add the ip-address of your router and by port 6600. When done click the connect button and you should be able now to control your radio from your pc.
