Good question.
First, lets start with audacious, I use to for when I click music in konqueror, quick testing.
Second, mocp, I use it for as you see radio stations, or for looking through music folders while I have a list in mpd.
Third, ncmpc, my normal playlist, the one I use most often.
But most of the time I don't really use mocp. But ya I'm fairly weird. But as you can see i have 1 gig of ram so it doesn't bother me.
You can do all of that with mpd.
Gimme a pm or start another topic if you wanna know how

Let us know master.

Ok, let's list what you were doing:

1: Looking through your directories of music

For this, it's very simple. Press '3' in ncmpc, and then press space to enqueue to your current playlist or enter to play immediately.

2: Listening to streaming radio

For this you need 2 scripts

addm3u

#!/bin/sh
mpc clear
cat $1 | mpc add
mpc play

addpls

#!/bin/sh
mpc clear
grep '^File[0-9]*' $1 | sed -e 's/^File[0-9]*=//' | mpc add
mpc play

The mpc clear lines are unnecessary, but I tend to want to listen to the radio right away. If all you have is a url, just do mpc add <url>, and mpd can handle the rest.

3: Listening to things through konq

This one I should have bit my tongue on I'm not quite sure how you could accomplish this. Though one thing you could try is `mpc add <url>`. I think in firefox you could get it to do this for mp3s, but I'm not sure how knoq's configuration is..

sorry.

I just use mplayerplug-in with firefox when I need to listen to mp3's from my browser. Though I am sad they don't get reported to last.fm.
