Comment(by rmsfisher@…):

 If you can devise a method to run mpd as its own user with the following
 conditions, I would be glad to reduce its privileges:[[br]]
  * The user name and/or UID should avoid conflicting with an existing user
 name and or UID.
  * Uninstalling or deactivating mpd should remove the user from the
 system.
  * The user should have read access to locations symlinked in
 {{{/opt/local/var/lib/mpd/music}}}
  * The user should have write access in
 {{{/opt/local/var/lib/mpd/playlists}}} and {{{/opt/local/var/log/mpd}}}
  * The launchctl plist should be run with no dependence on any other GUI
 or CLI user being logged in
 Do those criteria seem fair?[[br]]
 If you can come up with a patch which meets those requirements I'd be
 happy to test and implement it.
