WiiMPC is a simple MPD client for the Wii.
It utilizes the WiiMote to control your music server with buttons for play/pause/stop, change song, and change volume. The screen shows the current song, song position, and volume.
Install WiiMPC like any other HomeBrew channel app; then create a file in the wiimpc directory called wiimpc.conf, with a single line in it:
MPD_HOST = mpdserver
where "mpdserver" is the hostname or IP address of the machine running MPD.
The source is available, and of course patches are welcome.
