    - I added tracks on the remote machine.

    - I reset the cache locally, followed by killing all emms playlist
      buffers.

    - I then ran

        (emms-player-mpd-connect)

    - Then I checked the playlist buffer (not the browser) and saw that
      all of the remote tracks now appear on the local playlist buffer.

    - It is also possible at this point to select a track and hear it
      playing on the remote machine.

Does that much work?
