I've used mpd since my early college years, often in shuffle mode. Always works. None of the issues you describe. I'm also confident VLC should work, but I haven't tried it for this purpose (because mpd never gave me a reason to), and I'm sure you've tried that already.

Heck, Roku doesn't even work. They've sold what, a million of those Roku boxes? For years? And their !@#$%^&* music player does not work, and never has. I think it was VLC on Ubuntu that would randomly delete or corrupt its music database. I kept having to rebuild it. The VLC support people told me I was just imagining this :-/ I don't bother filing bug reports anymore on any product (other than D Foundation things), as never in 40 years has that ever produced a positive result. Open source, closed source, makes no difference. I just complain on HN :-)
