Dependencies include some basic ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) stuff, but a couple of more items are nice to have for several reason, including testing, so;

* First: opkg install groupadd useradd coreutils-chmod coreutils-chown
opkg install ffmpeg-full ffprobe alsa-utils alsa-ucm-conf mpd-full mpd-avahi-service mpc lib<ins>mpd</ins>client
* ...then: opkg install alsa-utils alsa-ucm-conf mpd-full mpd-avahi-service mpc lib<ins>mpd</ins>client


...and maybe opkg install madplay mpg123 (they don't install any services, so they're just there if you need them)

==== MPD Notes ====
* Make sure to install ffmpeg-full, using opkg install ffmpeg-full EXPLICITLY, otherwise ffmpeg-mini will be installed (which miraculously does NOT include support for the simplest format there is, .WAV Files)
* ffprobe is a useful tool to install
* Modify the /etc/init.d/mpd File to run as root:root (just do it, saves a lot of trouble later)

This error may have occurred during "opkg install mpd-full";<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
Why (as noted earlier, but more details and a solution later): The root User (that's right, the ROOT user) doesn't have the privileges to execute the command.  WTF!?
Configuring mpd-full.
mkdir: can't create directory '': No such file or directory
chown: missing operand after ‘mpd:mpd’
Try 'chown --help' for more information

====FIRST! (or rather the next thing to do)====
Because OpenWRT doesn't include of the Bluez Tools (nope, not Blues Clues), make sure PulseAudio has the Bluetooth Modules loaded up and ready to go!
REMEMBER: PulseAudio has to be properly configured and running for Bluetooth (bluetoothctl) to work!  and because OpenWRT doesn't include of the Bluez Tools (nope, not Blues Clues), make sure PulseAudio has the Bluetooth Modules loaded up and ready to go (IE, the AVAHI version of PulseAudio)!
 
See: [[PulseAudio on OpenWRT with MPD and other Stuff#Installation of Software]]

AND make sure the /etc/pulse/system.pa loads the Bluetooth Module
