Sorry if I wasn't clear !

The tracks can be seen in the browser.

What does not work is adding *new* tracks inside emacs, or seeing files
outside of the playlist. I expected to do that with `emms-cache-set-from-mpd`.

For what it's worth, the `simple-mpc` package works: search results are
shown and can be added`to the playlist.
