I see your point but... changing a moderate / large library of music digital files is quite a cumbersome task (think NAS, etc) and the end product would not fit in with most of the hardware/software music players/streamers probably. I also believe that using an extended archiving model restricts the flexibility of access to separate files on the range of operating systems available at the moment.
For me the process is gradual, I typically work with an album or artist at a time and archive when I am done. My player of choice other than the mo0de/Rpi combo is Foobar2000, which fully supports archives. As for OS, I mostly use Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows (7 and later), both of which fully support archives. This approach is not for everyone, but I find it to be quite handy.
I compiled mpd on Ubuntu yesterday and at first blush if seems to support archives nicely. I'll report back when I know more.
I've used mpd as a player of a long while, but hadn't noted the progress; it has come a long, long way since I last dived in.

John,
You've gone 'full battle dress' into the frey... I give up
(I may give it a little nudge
)
