Multi App vs Single App Mode

• Single App Mode

  • This mode will only use a single MPD app, which will diplay the three different MPD states. (Playing, Paused and Idle)
  • This mode syncs faster than the multi-app mode.

• Multi App Mode

  • This mode will use multiple, unique MPD apps:

    • MPD (Playing)
    • MPD (Paused)
    • MPD (Reserved for idle)

  • These app names will show up next to your name on the sidebar.

  • This mode updates slower than the single app mode.
