An Android App for mpd that is able to cache songs like Spotify and has the same convenience functions. Moreover the mpd is interconnected to other mpd's in a distributed p2p tor-enabled network.
Why does this not exist.

You're mixing things up.
You could have all your music as torrented on your server and then just stream that to your android.

I'm enhancing things up. If you are riding the bus and want to listen to the latest Justin Bieber song are you really going to get your notebook out, ssh to your server and search for a torrent?

This kills the spotify.

So you want popcorn time for music for mobile devices?
Well, data use and battery life might be an issue, for starters. There's also the whole copyright infringement thing too.

Exactly as much as it is for the largely successful Spotify app.
>There's also the whole copyright infringement thing too.
For movies it might be impracticable as of now, but for music an anonymity network should be sufficiently fast.

The difference here is that Spotify streams music one way from a Centra server. A p2p network would mean devices constantly checking each other for files, uploading files and so on. We're literally talking about non stop activity whereas Spotify can happily partake in the race to idle by streaming whatever it thinks it needs and then shutting off the data connection.
The short of it is that it's still a terrible idea.

That wasn't my point.
MPC is a client that runs on the Android App, it's not directly involved in any P2P network, it linearly streams data on demand from the user's own MPD and it is able to cache (download) albums or single songs.
The user's MPD is connected to other users MPD over a decentralized anonymity network (so the feds can't take it down). If the user searches a file on his Android device, the request gets to his own MPD which will search for it, download it and stream the results to the client just like Spotify.

Looks nice, and pretty close. It's lacking the whole piracy thing though.

Oh you mean cache songs from Spotify. I guess that won't happen anytime soon.
