+* Multimedia
+  EMMS seems like a decent multimedia system for Emacs and why not
+  enable all the stable features to start with. Also, =mplayer= makes
+  a good fallback player.

+  #+begin_src emacs-lisp
+    (use-package emms
+      :config
+      (emms-all)
+      (add-to-list 'emms-player-list 'emms-player-mplayer))
+  #+end_src
+
+** MPD
+   To get EMMS to talk to MPD, we need to tell it how to connect to
+   it, and to use it for getting track info and playing tracks:
+
+   #+begin_src emacs-lisp
+     (add-to-list 'emms-info-functions 'emms-info-mpd)
+     (add-to-list 'emms-player-list 'emms-player-mpd)
+     (setq emms-player-mpd-server-name "localhost"
+           emms-player-mpd-server-port "6600"
+           emms-player-mpd-music-directory "~/mus")
+   #+end_src
+
+   With those options in place, connecting should work fine (assuming
+   the underlying system has MPD running).
