Feature: Concurrent multi-user support #106

In my home I've started using O!MPD with different users and different locations. But I can see now its really only designed for one user at a time. How much work is needed to build true user account separation and concurrent use. So that each user can have:

music played to different mpd servers concurrently
independent private and shared playlists
independent albums played history
etc

Short answer is: a lot of work. I think, problem mentioned in #96 requires fixing first. Maybe some solution for your needs could be running another instance of O!MPD (separate folder on web server with separate db on database server).

I considered dual installs also, it would work of course and is fine as a workaround, but be nice to have proper user independence up the road.
