 	Well, my latest spare-hardware-using project (while I'm waiting for
 parts for other projects to come) is an MP3 server. But I'm torn as to
 what
 OS to use. I was going to use NT Server with Internet Information Server
 so
 that I could serve up a dynamic clickable catalog. The I thought that I'd
 just make a simple shared drive and use Media Player to create and manage
 playlists. Then I thought maybe this would be perfect for Linux with Samba
 and Apache.

 	So, here's the question...if you were setting-up a networked MP3
 player in your house, how would you do it? hardware's not the question --
 just software. -----

Well, I've been thinking about hooking a spare box (Win98 with WinAmp, and
remote control software, nothing else) to my stereo, probably headless. Well
actually, doesn't Win2K have remote control built in?
	Then use WebAmp. Haven't tried it yet. Soon. :)

from: http://www.ulfco.com/webamp/
	"...WebAmp is a Web Server that sits inside Winamp, allowing remote
control of Winamp through a Web Browser. If you have a TCP/IP connection to
a Winamp PC, you can control it with a Web Browser. I've tested WebAmp with
Winamp 2.72 under Windows 98 and Windows 2000 and with the following
browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 under Win 98 and Win 2K Netscape
4.7 under Win 98, Win 2K, Mac, and Linux. Please email me (james(a)ulfco.com)
with your results (good or bad) under other platforms. The current version
is 0.91..."
