Thanks, I was not aware of this. I anticipate that most users will have admin access to their MPD servers, thus this is not a prioritized issue. If you implement and test this however, I'm willing to merge it into master.
i cant code go at all, but here is what i have done in my perl based client: https://github.com/carnager/clerk/blob/perl/clerk#L139-L156
it's just a few lines of code. and probably should have a setting in config file to set a chunksize. You don't want chunks to be too small, because each time the database is read completely, so small chunks slow it down a lot.
I have no idea how to code Go either! I encourage you to give it a shot. It's pretty fast to set up a development environment.
mpd supports the window parameter which allows to receive chunks of the database. This way one can bypass the buffer overflow which might happen with huge collections.
