MPD No errors, but won't start

The title explains the general problem. I can't get mpd to run. I've already dealt with the "Failed to bind" issue that so many mpd users get, and now there doesn't seem to be any problems, yet it won't start.

/etc/mpd.conf

user "myusername"
pid_file "/run/mpd/mpd.pid"
db_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpd.db"
state_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpdstate"
playlist_directory "/var/lib/mpd/playlists"
music_directory "/mnt/share/Music"

Here's what happens when I run mpd in the terminal:

server_socket: bind to '0.0.0.0:6600' failed: Address already in use (continuing anyway, because binding to '[::]:6600' succeeded)
output: No 'audio_output' defined in config file
output: Attempt to detect audio output device
output: Attempting to detect a alsa audio device
output: Successfully detected a alsa audio device

Not sure what's wrong here, seems everything was a success.

Re: MPD No errors, but won't start

What do you mean it doesn't start? What mpd client/front-end are you using?
