OK

This is mpd v0.21.24 (which echoes "OK MPD 0.21.11" because the protocol version increments more slowly than the software version; a source of confusion.)

Note that MPD is pretty cavalier about the case of labels. Fortunately, the mpc commands and also the protocol commands seem to crush the case, so "mpc list MuSiCbRaInZ_aLbUmId", "mpc list musicbrainz_albumid", and "mpc list MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID" all return the same list; similarly for the protocol list command.
