Do you mean when syncing *from* mpd, e.g., calling
emms-player-mpd-connect?

I've never used this function, but indeed, the playlist is completely
cleared when using this. I've made a change so that tracks which are not
handled by mpd are kept (it's configurable through the new variable
`emms-player-mpd-keep-other-tracks', which is non-nil by
default). However, it's not possible to keep the original order; the
tracks not handled by mpd will just move to the top of the playlist.

You can pull this change from my repo.
