+Overview
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ncmpc is a curses client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD). ncmpc connects to 
+a MPD running on a machine on the local network, and controls this with an 
+interface inspired by cplay. 
+
+Music Player Daemon (MPD) allows remote access for playing music (MP3, 
+Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, and wave files) and managing playlists. MPD is 
+designed for integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides 
+control for music playback over a local network. Read more at musicpd.org
