# Configuration ## File Resolution By default, mmtc looks for configuration file at `/mmtc/mmtc.ron`. Your config directory may differ depending on the operating system, so mmtc tries to find your config directory with [dirs crate](https://docs.rs/dirs-next/*/dirs_next/fn.config_dir.html). This setting can be overwritten by the command line argument `-c` or `--config`. If no config file was given from the command line and mmtc failed to find your config directory, the [default configuration](mmtc.ron) would be used. ## File Structure The configuration file is written in [ron](https://github.com/ron-rs/ron), an expressive object notation. Check out its [specification wiki](https://github.com/ron-rs/ron/wiki/Specification) if you are having trouble figuring out its syntax. The whole file should be a [`Config` struct](#Config). ### Config Type: struct field | type | description | default -|-|-|- `address` | string | the address of the mpd server | `"127.0.0.1:6600"` `clear_query_on_play` | boolean | clear query on play | `false` `cycle` | boolean | cycle through the queue | `false` `jump_lines` | non-negative integer | the number of lines to jump | `24`
