Music Player Daemon (MPD) 0.20 appears to be a major release that comes approximately one month after the last maintenance to the MPD 0.19 series. The Git changelog attached at the end of the article also shows us that this is a pretty big update with lots of improvements and new features. The team highlights a few of the most important new features of MPD 0.20, which include the ability to read ID3 and APE tags from remote audio files through HTTP, SMB, or NFS protocols, implementation of audio/L16 and WavPack-DSD support, better multi-channel support, a new soxr resampler plugin, as well as DSD_U32 support.
