The mpdev features have been requested many times in the past. I'll have to study pistop to see what we can use.

I would love to have a way to rate songs and record information when the song was played. mpd allows you to have sticker database in sqlite. You can define your own table. mpc command provides support for query and update of this database using the sticker command. It opens the possibility to generate playlists based on a person's listening habits. I would be glad to contribute in whatever way I can to the development effort in this forum. mpdev is just a daemon that connects to mpd on port 6600 and issues the IDLE command. When the command returns it than executes any user defined script to handle the event. On linux you have an excellent player - cantata (no longer maintained). But on android and ios, there is nothing that allows you to store your listening habits for mpd. That's where I think the moode player can provide something unique which others (volumio, dietpi, etc) do not provide - a way to store the user's listening choices.
Meanwhile I don't think pistop would be something immediately useful. It is just a collection of hacks, configuration to manage multiple players in the house. I use it to
1) share the library from a disk mounted on a RPI4 device
2) automatically backup devices which connect to the PI4 device
3) automatically update software on devices which connect to the PI4 device
4) Shutdown the devices connected to my PI4 device when the PI4 device is shutdown.
I have ordered my Allo usbbridge. It should be arriving this week after which I will be playing a lot with moode.
