Use multiple databases with MPD
We can make symlinks in our "music_directory" to include directories that from other mount points in a MPD database. How can we have two different databases entirely? One with music and another with audiobooks? I cant find anything searching so I think it is not possible.

Re: Use multiple databases with MPD
The only thing I can think of is to create a per-user instance of MPD. So modify the service to be mpd@.service, then have it run a mpd@music.service and mpd@audiobooks.service... though you would potentially have to create users for this, and if you are using pulseaudio, you would have to allow those user's stuff to be able to use the audio stack.`

Re: Use multiple databases with MPD
Two config files? Just take care to run only one instance of mpd at a time. You can execute via `mpd /path/to/config2` for the 2nd one and just `mpd` for the default one. Seems like a useful feature though. Considering opening a task upstream?
