I believe the MPD Wiki page contains an error (that will keep MPD from working correctly), but I am not 100% sure that I didn't miss something.
The MPD Wiki page states:
"
MPD needs to have +x permissions on ALL parent directories to your music collection (ie. if it's located outisde of "mpd" home directory /var/lib/mpd). By default useradd sets permissions on home dir to 1700 drwx------. So if your like me you will need to change permissions of /home/user. Example... my music collection is located /home/user/music.
# chmod a+x /home/user
# chmod -R a+x /home/user/music
"
When I issued the sudo mpd --create-db command, the database file was empty. To fix this problem, I had to execute the following commands (as opposed to the ones in the Wiki page):
# chmod a+rx /home/user
# chmod -R a+rx /home/user/music
Notice that "read" permission was added. After I did this, the database was successfully created.

if you run mpd as your username, then you won't have this problem
