Summary
The Sonata activity combines a musicpd (mpd) daemon and the Sonata pygtk frontend in one bundle. To the user the activity appears to be a basic mp3/ogg/flac player.
This app is more of a personal hack than anything else. It does not lend itself well to the use-cases or design of the other XO activities.
Goals
Create a simple mp3 player that can play media saved on flash or SD card. Also useful as an mpd client to an outside mpd server (ie, great for parties to pass around the XO and have users control the stereo).
Collaboration
None

sonata-11.xo is known to work with build 542.
Functional Test
Open the Sonata Activity.
Right click and select properties. Ensure connection to mpd server.
Place ogg or other files in ~/.mpd/Music
Click Library, right click on empty window, select refresh. Files should appear
Doubleclick files to queue.
Click Current tab, click play.
Music should play.
If you are having trouble getting the music to play, the mpd service may not be running. It should start when the sonata activity starts, but you can start it manually by going to the Terminal Actvity and doing the following commands:
cd Actvities/sonata.activity
bin/mpd_control.sh start
- As of January 2, 2008, this activity does not appear to function on the XO-1.
