I can't add any album to the playlist in MPC.
0. emacs -Q
1. M-x mpc RET
2. move point to "Albums | Playlists" window
3. Pick any album, press RET
The result is that the playlist clears in Emacs and the songs get added
into the buffer. However, if I try playing any song in the
"*MPC-Songs*" buffer, I get "This song is not in the playlist". The
songs are also not added to the MPD playlist.
I expect that the playlist a) does *not* clear (items get appended
instead), b) that the songs are in fact added to the MPD playlist and
c) that I can play the songs.

Maybe related:
If instead of pressing RET in step 3, I type `M-x mpc-playlist-add', I
get a message like "Appended 12 songs", but the old playlist is
unchanged in both Emacs and in MPD.
I'm not sure if my MPD client is in a weird state or something, but
ncmpcpp is still working as always. What can I do to investigate this?

I don't think so: *MPC-Songs* doesn't always show the playlist.
What RET does is that it selects the songs and shows you in *MPC-Songs*
the songs that were selected. You can then add them to the playlist
with `mpc-playlist-add` if you want.

That's right. If you want to see the playlist, try `mpc-playlist`.
One of the main ideas behind mpc.el is that you can play albums without
thinking about a playlist, just browse your music collection and hit
play when you've found the album/artist/playlist/... that you want to
listen to.
