[ <a href="http://www.videolan.org/" target="_blank">http://www.videolan.org/</a> ] From their website: It is a free cross-platform media player It supports a large number of multimedia formats, without the need for additional codecs It can also be used as a streaming server, with extended features (video on demand, on the fly transcoding, ...) I'm a complete yutz wrt multimedia and Linux but VideoLan has given my desktop life. Just for the heckuvit I've run multiple instances so I could listen to songs "in the round". It runs very nicely on a 1G 512 white box. Highly recommended. </blockquote><div> My preferred network applications for mp3: ampache mpd/phpMp icecast/ices0 They can also brodcast to the outside world, if you wish (to your work, e.g.). And pulseaudio definitely works in a local network. </div></div> But ampache is "hors concours". It is far just the best of all. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
