If you are using mpd to playback the tracks you don’t need to worry about setting the mplayer options, and if you are using mplayer you don’t need to worry about the mpd files.
When using mpd this will support gapless playback, but cannot resolve a lot of radio streams and so I have to resolve the streams such as .pls in the code. MPlayer will not do gapless playback but you can throw any stream\file type at it and it just works.. The choice is yours :-)
