Don't play them in random order. Randomize the playlist into a temporary file before giving it to MPD. Or you could use the shuffle command to make MPD randomize the order. Then your script should be able to tell when the last track is being played. At that point you can use the crop command to remove all the previous tracks from the playlist and do whatever you want to do next. > Also I have scheduled playlists.
