==== 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)
