I don't get it. If there are no songs in your library, then the value is known. It is zero. |

Yes, this is true. But is there a possible state where the number of songs is not known and thus omitted in the output of |

I'm not sure, I can't think of any. |

Hm, ok. Maybe if the database hasn't been created yet? |

Then the database is empty, equals zero songs. If we'd change that, then MPD would need to suppress these lines whenever the database update is running. |

My concrete problem at the moment is this issue. I'm trying to decide if it is my fault or a bug in mpd or its documentation. Unfortunately I'm not yet able to reproduce. |

Oh, it is indeed possible for MPD to return empty stats. That can happen for example if the "proxy" database plugin fails; therefore you should really change your code to make it more robust against server-side errors where the response doesn't look like you expect it to be. |

But in that user's setup, with the standard database plugin, that shouldn't happen. I can't explain what went wrong there, but in any case making code robust is a good idea.
