With the current setup and using systemd you can disable mpd.service and keep
mpd.socket
enabled :
systemctl disable mpd.service
systemctl enable mpd.socket
Then mpd is disable at startup but mpd.socket will launched it as soon as a
client open
[::]:6600 over the network or locally /run/mpd/socket.

What's wrong with systemd commands:
systemctl stop mpd
systemctl disable mpd
That will prevent mpd from starting at boot (both service and socket) but allow
you to
run it when you want with "systemctl start mpd".
Is this a better solution for your use case?
