Before using xmcd/cda for the first time, you must set up the software by running the following program: $PREFIX/sbin/xmcdconfig Xmcd/cda will not work until that is done. You may also want to set up cron(8) to run the $PREFIX/share/xmcd/scripts/genidx script periodically (e.g., nightly) to re-generate the local discography category index pages.
