If you'd still like to use a terminal player you should check out mopidy: https://www.mopidy.com

This is cool! I was working on something similar but more specifically for my office to democratise our office music with voting and so on, after Soundrop disappeared off the face of the earth. It only supports Spotify at the moment, but the plan was to eventually add soundcloud support as well as file uploads.
I'm curious... Is mopidy like mpd in that clients that connect are only able to edit the playlist? Or can they themselves play songs?
It's not just like mpd, it is mpd + a HTTP server. Ergo you need to control it with a CLI or graphical mpd client or with a web client.
It is absolutely not MPD, it has a partial implementation of the MPD protocol.
