Portable DAP compatible with MPD?

[talmage]

To help me use my phone less, I'm looking for a portable digital audio player (DAP) that can act as an MPD server. I've searched the Interwebs for answers and failed to find any.

A phone-based implementation, such as those available for Android from F-Droid through Termux, won't do.

You can run MPD on any Linux-based DAP (which is almost all of them, except for Apple stuff). A Linux-based DAP is just a computer, like any other.

I'm having a hard time finding Linux-based DAPs. Are they any you recommend?

When I DuckDuckGo search for "Linux DAP", most of the answers are about LDAP.

I found some Android-based ones on Amazon.com, so maybe I could install Termux and MPD on one of them. If I do that, then I might as well use an old Android phone. I'm actually doing that but it's kind of big and fiddly.

Why Termux? Use Android client (eg Malp) and connect to localhost. Prepare config files on Linux or Windows host. Or do I miss the problem?

Wait. What! There's an Android implementation of mpd?

A quick look on F-Droid confirms it!

Thank you. I'll look into it some more.

Yes, MPD runs on Android.

@talmage what coincidence, I'm making exactly that, a DAP running an RTOS on ESP32 or other Microcontrollers with a little bit of configuration, you can connect it to your phone or Laptop over wifi (and I made feature request asking for Bluetooth binding). I'll prob work on a dumbed down MPD server for the RTOS too.

If you have any questions or want to run the project in it's current state you can message me here or at levi.konrad@gmail.com

right now i compiled mpc to the RTOS and can connect when im in the same wifi
