Music Player Daemon

You need to post the "update" command to MPD. One way to do that is to use the command-line tool "mpc" which you apparently do not have installed. There are other ways with other clients, but I don't know which client you're using. But "mpd update" doesn't do anything, because "mpd.exe" doesn't have...

MPD doesn't care about your complex folder structure.
But did you update the database after changing the configuration? "mpc update"

You can set music_directory to "m:\", but why would you want "c:\" ?

Oh look: https://www.runeaudio.com/download/ The latest release for Pi2 is already 5 years old. The last changelog entry (https://www.runeaudio.com/changelog/) is 7 years old! Looks like Rune Audio is a dead project! Don't use it! Here's RuneAudio's MPD package: https://github.com/RuneAudio/RuneOS/t...

Then I can't help you. You should ask Rune Audio for help - this is not a support site for Rune Audio, only for MPD.

Which MPD version?

Yes, with the ALSA input plugin: https://www.musicpd.org/doc/html/plugins.html#alsa

Correct.

This isn't of MPD's business - the port where the stream is published is Shoutcast's business.

I don't know either - the JACK project would be the right place to ask (consult JACK documentation first).

Why do you want to configure bind_to_address? This isn't "linuxy", this is "IPy", this is about configuring servers for the Internet Protocol, and that's the same on Windows and Linux. But on most Windows programs, you usually don't have options like "bind_to_address" - those programs just bind to e...

The only port I have been using is 6600, which is configured multi-directionally for TCP & UDP. Not exactly true. UDP is not used. And what does "multi-directional" mean? Is there a control port setting I am missing from mpd.conf? Yes, and it's all documented: https://www.musicpd.org/doc/html/user....

You configured your "httpd" output on port 6600, but the control port also defaults to port 6600 (since you did not specify a different non-standard port). That doesn't make sense.

The protocol documentation explains them all! https://www.musicpd.org/doc/html/protocol.html#querying-mpd-s-status Don't run this in a separate thread - this only adds overhead and is very fragile. Rather register the libmpdclient socket in the GLib event loop and let it invoke a callback when MPD r...

Your link is relative, it has no protocol, thus gets requested from forum.musicpd.org

This is just security theater. If it had really found something "harmful", it would have told you more details. I have no idea what your problem means and why this happens. Of course, it is a good idea to be cautious. Somebody may have hacked the MPD website and put a trojaned MPD build there. That ...

As I already said, this is Python, not Shell.

You could use Python-MPD2: https://python-mpd2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

from mpd import MPDClient
client = MPDClient()
client.connect("localhost", 6600)
song = client.currentsong()
if song: client.playlistadd('the_playlist_name', song['file'])

Simple, isn't it?

mpc has no command to add something to a stored playlist. Adding this feature would be easy if you know some C. MPD has commands to do it, and libmpdclient (the C library used by mpc) has it as well - it just needs to be wired to a mpc command.
But you could also write a small Python script to do it.

That is not yet possible - welcome to write a feature request on GitHub!
Right now, you can only combine ("mount") several "simple" plugins together (with different storages, e.g. local hard disk, nfs, usb stick etc.).
