NAME

POE::Component::Client::MPD::Collection - module handling collection commands

DESCRIPTION

POE::Component::Client::MPD::Collection is responsible for handling general purpose commands. They are in a dedicated module to achieve easier code maintenance.

To achieve those commands, send the corresponding event to the POE::Component::Client::MPD session you created: it will be responsible for dispatching the event where it is needed. Under no circumstance should you call directly subs or methods from this module directly.

Read POE::Component::Client::MPD's pod to learn how to deal with answers from those commands.
