Settings
========
Create a file named ``settings.py`` in the directory ``~/.mopidy/``.
Mopidy reads settings from the file ``~/.mopidy/settings.py``, where ``~``
means your *home directory*. If your username is ``alice`` and you are running
Linux, the settings file should probably be at
``/home/alice/.mopidy/settings.py``.
If you are using a Spotify backend, enter your Spotify Premium account's
username and password into the file, like this::
You can either create this file yourself, or run the ``mopidy`` command, and it
will create an empty settings file for you.
Music from Spotify
------------------
If you are using the Spotify backend, which is the default, enter your Spotify
Premium account's username and password into the file, like this::
SPOTIFY_USERNAME = u'myusername'
SPOTIFY_PASSWORD = u'mysecret'
Currently :mod:`mopidy.backends.libspotify` is the default backend. If you want
to use :mod:`mopidy.backends.local`, add the following setting::
Music from local storage
------------------------
If you want use Mopidy to play music you have locally at your machine instead
of using Spotify, you need to change the backend from the default to
:mod:`mopidy.backends.local` by adding the following line to your settings
file::
BACKENDS = (u'mopidy.backends.local.LocalBackend',)
For a full list of available settings, see :mod:`mopidy.settings`.
You may also want to change some of the ``LOCAL_*`` settings. See
:mod:`mopidy.settings`, for a full list of available settings.
Connecting from other machines on the network
---------------------------------------------
As a secure default, Mopidy only accepts connections from ``localhost``. If you
want to open it for connections from other machines on your network, see
the documentation for :attr:`mopidy.settings.MPD_SERVER_HOSTNAME`.

When Mopidy says ``MPD server running at [localhost]:6600`` it's ready to
accept connections by any MPD client. You can find a list of tons of MPD
clients at http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Clients. We use GMPC and
ncmpcpp during development. The first is a GUI client, and the second is a
terminal client.
