+NeoMPC
+======
+
+Version 0.6pre (2010-01-20)
+---------------------------
+
+NeoMPC is a web based MPD Client which is designed for a small screen device
+with a web browser, like a PDA or a mobile phone (although it’s taylored
+specifically for a screen 320 pixels wide, I might change it in the future to
+be a little more flexible).
+
+You’ll need to be running Apache, Apache2 or Lighttpd (recommended) with
+PHP 4.3 or greater on your MPD server. Running it should be as simple as
+extracting it to the apache directory (or other web server accessible directory)
+and navigating to it with your browser.
