# Solving Problems

# GMPC tells me that MPD playlists are not working, how to fix this

Check if the following things are correctly configured for MPD:

Is `playlist_directory` specified in MPD's configuration file?

Does the `playlist_directory` exist?

Is the `playlist_directory` readable by MPD?

Can MPD read and write the playlists?

# There are not files in the database

Check if MPD is allowed to read the music files in the directory.

Check if MPD has support for the used music format. Run: mpd --version to get a list.

Please check the MPD website for more information.
