I tried a bunch of web-clients and my choice was basically determined by:
- resource usage (all the ajax-based clients I tried seemed better
maintained and spiffier, but my web-and-mpd-server has only 64MB and
266MHz to do its work, and those clients feel sluggish on such
hardware).
- of the remaining clients (non-ajax), only one of them (one of the
phpMp ones) turned out to survive a simple usability test without
burping all over the place.
So, what I'd like to see is a "phpMp-consolidated" which would provide
lightweight and reliable operation, while including a bit more features
than the phpMp I'm using now (the one I'm using can't be browsed by
artist or genre or album, but only via the directory hierarchy or via
the `search' field).

PS: Can't remember if I mentioned it already, but my MPC.el Emacs-based
client will be included in the upcoming Emacs-23.2.
