Yes I have now configured mpd as a normal user using this guide. http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=17386 I would appreciate if someone goes through the guide and see if it has any security issues. The guide is written for a single user, not for system wide! I am now able to run ncmpcpp only thing is I am very new to it and I need to learn it to use it efficiently!
