So if you plan to use ratings, it's a good idea to have music_path option
in config file. If your music is on a different machine just mount it locally.

+#### Finally a word on cached database
+clerk highly depends on the ability to show albums/tracks in a formatted way.
+Artist, album, track and date info must all be visible in a single line, otherwise
+the filtering wouldn't work.
+The only way to archive this is by using mpd's listallinfo command.
+That command is evil and should not be used. Sadly there is no alternative.
+The only issue that could arise in clerk is that it simply does not work.
+If this happens to you, make sure to increase the command buffer size in
+mpd config.
+Hopefully someday mpd will offer an alternative for this, but I can't see
+this happening anytime soon
