MPoD: MPD (Music Player Daemon) Client For iPod / iPhone

We've covered some MPD desktop clients on more than one occasion, but I have just stumbled upon a great MPD interface for iPod / iPhone called MPoD and I had to share it with you.

In case you don't know MPD, or Music Player Daemon is a command line tools for playing music which allows you to access your music remotely.

MPoD is a client for MPD, allowing you to play the music from your PC, directly on your iPod or iPhone.
