When I attempt to start MPD, I get this error:
listen: bind to '0.0.0.0:6600' failed: Address already in use (continuing anyway, because binding to '[::]:6600' succeeded)
daemon: cannot init supplementary groups of user "dana": Operation not permitted
Found db_file setting without music_directory - disabling database
What should I do?

Sounds like you need to fix your mpdconf... Start by posting it. Also, are you running it as the mpd user or as another system user?

Yes, I modified the config file to my name.

2 options:
a) run the mpd command as root
b) remove the user line alltogether

He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.

Still exactly same error.

Top to bottom:
listen: bind to '0.0.0.0:6600' failed: Address already in use (continuing anyway, because binding to '[::]:6600' succeeded)
This is perfectly normal.
daemon: cannot init supplementary groups of user "dana": Operation not permitted
Remove the user "dana" line (and start mpd as dana, not root).
Found db_file setting without music_directory - disabling database
You have your music_directory line commented.
Failed to stat directory "/home/dana/Music/playlists": No such file or directory
Create the directory yourself.

ehm, no? I was still referring to the first post The user that is actually used it defined in config.... what do you think what user starts your system daemons (including mpd.service)?
Anyway, that issue has been resolved already and the remaining issues have been explained in detail above
