[Voyage-linux] RE: QB9 and some earlier silly questions of mine

With the change in MPD on the database it has been driving me nuts as well.
We have had troubles getting large databases to work with mPod and mPad as
well, they do not clear old data and become unuseable. I will be asking Max
on the MPD list what has changed and how it is intended to work.

I have had nutty troubles with mpd building the database from scratch; the
music on both machines is on a local disk, and I just make a symlink called
music in /var/lib/mpd to a directory which contains symlinks to the real
music directories, organized one directory per album, roughly.
It always takes several restarts and various combinations of deleting
tag_cache, etc, before the database finally magically appears, and I have no
real idea of what I did which finally made it happen. I wish to hell that
mpd --create-db had not gone away; it always seemed to work.
