The best way of accomplishing retrieval of albums and other queries From a remote mpd process would probably be to create an emms-source-mpd.el file. It would define sources such as "mpd-album" (prompt for a particular album, perhaps from an autogenerated list), "mpd-artist", etc. Maybe a source like "mpd-all-albums" could be defined as well, that inserts all known albums into the current MusicPD playlist, using the custom track type 'mpd-album for each entry. Then, when hitting RET on an album, emms-player-mpd.el could recognize the type, and fetch the corresponding album into a new buffer. A scoring mechanism (i.e. "i hate this album/track" or "i like this album/track") seems to exist already in emms-score.el. Once exams are done (2 weeks), I might take a look at that.
