dear flatware i m about to undertake a massive project to index catalog well over one thousand cds that have been ripped to mpNUMBER and set up a server to stream them to different rooms in the house yes i own them all no i m not broadcasting them to the net can anyone give me some recommendations as to what free opensource software is best suited for this task i know there are a few forks out there who have tackled this problem before i d like to be able to dynamically generate play lists from queries like jazz released between NUMBER and NUMBER or artist such and such between these dates or just these artists or just this genre you get the idea in addition to having multiple streams that i can tune in to a la dmx i d like to be able to browse the database through a web interface from other computers in the house and pull specific music down to wherever i am thanks elias
