Download "MPDCtrl-v4.0.6-win-x64.zip" (attached below in Assets), unzip the file, execute MPDCtrl.exe.

(You may get a warning dialog from Windows's defender when launching the exe because the exe is not digitally signed. I generally do not recommend installing/running any random app from the internet. However, if you know what you are doing, you can just click "More info" and proceed to run it. If you download the app from the App Store this won't happen/be needed)
