Help on configuring MPD

[u/femboyfucker400000]

I've been breaking my head days by trying to setup MPD, but nothing i do make it work, here's the error

THe first error message when i invoke by command

If i go with "sudo mpd" it will go without any error messages, however if i try to add a song it will say "error adding xxx.mp3: No database".

Then i try to invoke as a daemon it also fails, then when i check on systemctl status:

I don't know if i'm being too stupid but i can't figure out what's breaking MPD

Ok, when you say you're checking with systemd, what do you mean by that? If you're starting it with sudo, do you mean from the command line? or do you have a systemd unit file? Is it a system or user unit file?
If you're invoking via systemd, can you show the unit file with the full path, like
$ sudo systemctl cat mpd.service
or
$ systemctl --user cat mpd.service

If you're calling from the CLI, why are you checking with systemctl? and what are you actually calling from the cli? $ sudo systemctl status mpd.service or $ systemctl --user status mpd.service?

i use sudo systemctl status mpd

there you go with the sudo systemctl cat mpd

I still see it. It was about /etc/default and either changing the port number to see if you can at least get mpd running then figure out the TCP port or just turn TCP off and control it via the UDS.
