Adam,

I don't see anything inherently dangerous in your script; but is it possible that mpc did something unexpected which could have led to you bricking your device? Specifically, what about these commands:

/mnt/card/mpd/bin/mpc clear
/mnt/card/mpd/bin/mpc update
/mnt/card/mpd/bin/mpc listall | mpc add -
/mnt/card/mpd/bin/mpc playlist > playlist.txt

#!/bin/sh
##MPD Playlist Script for ContentLister
killall mpd
/mnt/card/mpd/bin/mpd mpd.conf
cd /mnt/card/Music/Playlist/
rm -rf *
/mnt/card/mpd/bin/mpc clear
/mnt/card/mpd/bin/mpc update
/mnt/card/mpd/bin/mpc listall | mpc add -
/mnt/card/mpd/bin/mpc playlist > playlist.txt
int=1
file=playlist.txt
while read i 
do
      
      mkdir /mnt/card/Music/Playlist/$int
      cd  /mnt/card/Music/Playlist/$int
      touch manifest.xml
      echo "<xml>\n<package>\n  <metadata>\n    <dc>\n      <Title>$i</Title>\n      <Description></Description>\n      <Date>2006-11-16T08:28:46</Date>\n      <Identifier>\n      <Language>\n      <Type>\n    </dc>\n    <y>\n      <startpage>run.sh</startpage>\n      <version>000</version>\n    </y>\n  </metadata>\n</package>\n" >> manifest.xml
      touch run.sh
      echo "/mnt/card/mpd/bin/mpc play $int" >> run.sh
      chmod a+x run.sh
      int=`expr $int + 1`
done < "$file"
