title: mpc / mpd on linux: how to play local wav file
body: <p>I am trying to add a local file to mpd ( through mpc ) and play it . my platform is OpenWRT embedded linux .</p>
  
  <p>so, from the man page, it states:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mpc add &lt;file&gt;   Add a song to the current playlist
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>if i do: </p>
  
  <pre><code>root@OpenWrt:~/.mpd# mpc add /usr/share/baresip/ring.wav 
  error adding /usr/share/baresip/ring.wav: directory or file not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or if i do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>root@OpenWrt:~/.mpd# mpc add file:///usr/share/baresip/ring.wav 
  error adding file:///usr/share/baresip/ring.wav: Access denied
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>what exactly is the correct syntax here? the man page is really not very clear for mpc / mpd  . </p>
