Hi guys,
it seems that EMMS cannot interact with MPD out-of-the-box on a Windows machine. My current setup consists of Windows 7, mpd-0.13.4, Emacs 24.3 and the latest git snapshot of EMMS. When I open the EMMS buffer and execute "emms-mpd-player-connect", it returns an error message "Unknown service: 6600". A quick research showed that emms-player-mpd-ensure-process expects an integer for a port number but receives a string (e.g. "6600") instead.
After converting it to int, everything works OK. See the patch. Note that this is just a hack and probably the real refactoring should be done somewhere else.
Unfortunately, for now I have no *nix machine with the necessary setup to test this case on it.
