MPD command missing ?

Here's what the docs say about listfiles

Lists the contents of the directory URI, including files are not recognized by MPD. URI can be a path relative to the music directory or an URI understood by one of the storage plugins. The response contains at least one line for each directory entry with the prefix “file: ” or “directory: “, and may be followed by file attributes such as “Last-Modified” and “size”.

So, now the question is "what is the music directory?" In moOde's case, it is /var/lib/mpd/music. Here's what's in mine:

Code:

pi@moode:/var/lib/mpd/music $ ls
NAS  RADIO  SDCARD  UPNPminim  USB

Using the MPD protocol I can ask for a listing of a particular subdirectory on the particular USB thumbdrive which is plugged into this player:

Code:

telnet moode.local 6600
Trying 192.168.4.26...
Connected to moode.local.
Escape character is '^]'.
OK MPD 0.22.4
