There doesn't seem to currently be support for an mpd state file. On
another distro, in my mpd config I would have a line like this:
state_file "~/.config/mpd/state"

and it would basically keep all the songs I had played before in its
temporary playlist. Currently if I restart mpd, this gets wiped. You can
visually look at it via ncmpcpp in the main window. Anything that you put
there goes away after an mpd restart.

Are you still having this issue? I use MPD from Guix on GuixSD and on
another distro, and in both cases the state file works as expected.

Okay, it's working for me now without having to do anything special, so
I'm closing this bug.
