# STEP14

# Congrats! MPD is installed and running!

# First Steps With Music Player Daemon

# it’s now time to update the tag db of MPD, we are using the client this time (mpc):
# type the following cmds to update the MPD database

```
$ mpc update

# check the status to see if the update is done type:

```
$ mpc status
```

# “Updating DB …” shouldn’t be in the status result (can take a while be patient, 1500 albums/19000 songs is about 10mn to be updated)

# loop with

```
$ mpc status
```

# until the DB is updated
