FWIW both the ldlite and l3 parsers in ldglite are OK with
paths in an MPD file. Just make sure the path in the 0 FILE
line matches the path on the type 1 line that pulls in the
subfile. If they don't match it reports that it can't find
the file unless it finds it on that path on the local disk.
The paths match in the example above so it works just fine.
I've seen quite a few examples posted here where the path is
left out of the type 1 line or the 0 FILE line. These don't
work for me. I'm not sure if they were made manually or if
one of the MPD programs is the culprit. Either way, I think
we should set down some real rules on this to clear it up.
