Mpc lists database as empty

I've been using mpc for almost a year and was loving it. But one day it just stopped working.
When I try running "mpc ls" I get nothing.
Running "mpc update" doesn't change anything.
In fact "mpc stats" shows that the database hasn't been updated in some time.
Attempting to run "systemctl restart mpd" doesn't do much either.

It was running fine yesterday until I updated and restarted the computer. I'm on Linux Mint 19 with mpc 0.20.0

Here's my mpd.config:
Code:music_directory "~/music"
playlist_directory "~/.config/mpd/playlists"
# mpd defaults to localhost:6600 which conflicts with systemd
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1:5460"
db_file "~/.config/mpd/database"

log_file "~/.config/mpd/log"
pid_file "~/.config/mpd/pid"
state_file "~/.config/mpd/state"
restore_paused "yes"
auto_update "yes"
volume_normalization "yes"

# audio_output {
# type "alsa"
# name "my_alsa"
# mixer_type "software"
# # device "hw:0,0"
# }

audio_output {
type "pulse"
name "my_pulse"
}

# audio_output {
# type "osx"
# name "CoreAudio"
# mixer_type "software"
# buffer_time "50000"
# }Here's my directory structore:

Code:(ins)~/.config/mpd$ tree -I playlists ./

stateAny help would be much appreciated thanks. My database file seems to be intact but mpc treats it like it's empty.
