Anyone know how to load a URL (the one in question is:206.19.69.69:443, a trance radio stream) into mpd via mpc, or does it not handle that? I know ncmpc does, so I know mpd can handle it, but does mpc?

I never knew either mpd and ncmpc had this functionality.

There's nothing in the mpc man page about it, but I can't find anything in the mpd or ncmpc man pages either.

I know mpd can stream via icecast, but I can't find any info on using it to play streams.

How is it done/any links?

Well, in ncmpc I just added it in via a and typing in the IP and port number (the same way I previously posted the IP in question). I know it worked, and quite well.

Slightly off-topic, I never figured out how to get mpd to handle icecast/ect, although I didn't try to hard.
