Hay que crear los directorios y archivos que faltan en la seccion Files and directories:

# touch /var/lib/mpd/database

# touch /var/log/mpd/mpd.log

# touch /var/run/mpd/mpd.pid

# touch /var/lib/mpd/state

Agregar al usuario gentoo al grupo audio:

# gpasswd -a gentoo audio

Cambiar el propietario de los archivos y carpetas creados con anterioridad:

# chown -R gentoo.audio /var/{lib,log,run}/mpd

Cambiar permisos de manera recursiva al directorio de musica:

# chmod -R a+x /media/data/musica.

Es el momento de crear la base de datos:

# mpd --create-db

Agregar mpd al arranque y reiniciar:

# rc-update add mpd default

# shutdown -r now

Llego el momento de iniciar mpc (linea de comandos), o sonata (interfaz grafica), como usuario normal:

gentoo@hypatia ~ $ mpc play

Various Artists - Deusa do Amor

[playing] #1145/1188   0:04/4:57 (1%)

volume:100%   repeat: off   random: on    single: off   consume: off

Los comandos del cliente mpc:

gentoo@hypatia ~ $ mpc help

Linux es genial!.
