Thanks a lot for this, I will try it out. Where in the mpd.conf file
should I put this?

Have you used or tried GMPC, once you do, you might give up on vlc.

Here's a link: http://gmpc.wikia.com/wiki/GMPC_FEATURES

To be clear, I want to use GMPC, installed on my laptop, to control mpd
that is installed on the NAS. And so by doing this, listen to music on
my laptop. I hope this is clear now.

Thanks a lot for your input.
