[thechat] Accessing MP3's remotely

[Chris Evans]

Wow, this looks very close to what I was looking for.  I didn't realize
Winamp would stream over http.

Of course, being a hacker and web geek, I'll have to take the basic idea and
rewrite it myself using a mixture of CF and Java, but hey, it'll give me
something to do.

hey chris,

i'm not sure of your specific firewall issues, but if you can get to your
box (ip/web) from outside...

This might be a nice approach:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/andromeda/

I was able to set it up in approx 3 minutes (two small localization tweaks
to the php files), and then point it at your music directory, and it does
the rest. allows for point and click streaming, on-the-fly playlist
creation (by song, or directory), etc...

i never got super into it, but it claims to do users, skins, languages,
search, etc. (actually, the search did work for me, come to think of it.)

cheers
