Im running mpd server on a Pi 3 and use my laptop and a mpd client to play music on the Pi. I can play music stored on the Pi but can I also use mpd to play music stored on the device that is running the client?

No. The mpd client protocol does not provide any way to upload content -- the music files must be present on the computer running mpd.

Any ideas for a workaround that lets me use smartphone and laptop to play files from the device on a remote server? – Kaotic – 2019-07-31T04:23:10.157

Well, it allows you to add stream URLs, so technically you could make it play files over SMB... – user1686 – 2019-07-31T04:29:20.813
