I have extended the decoder plugin API to support arbitrary tag names recently, and I have been thinking about how to expose them to the client, in particular the LYRICS tag. This tag can be large and multi-line, both of which does not go well with the MPD protocol. It needs to be extended to support binary chunks. That will also be the first step towards providing album art by allowing certain files to be downloaded. I didn't come up with a good protocol design yet.
