and actively developed. The developer is pretty chill and often, but not always, receptive to feature requests.

For emms, I barely know myself.

Basically, you run emms-player-mpd-connect and after that you can use emms-playlist-mode-go to get mpd's queue or use e.g. emms-player-mpd-pause to (unintuitively) toggle playback.

The thing with mpd however is that you can use any number of players locally or remote to control it. I personally like cantata (qt-based) and used ncmpcpp (ncurses) as a fallback, but was hoping to replace the latter with emms. Let's see how that turns out.

Edit: Oh, and you need to switch the bind_to_address and port stuff in that mpd config.
