I'm working (with will-code-for-food-uni-student) on the mpd plugin (which is
broken with 1.7.4)
we have mixed ogg and mp3 on another machine (enough to play for 23 days
straight, apparently)
on the other machine we use netjuke to search the system and make playlists
and have got these instructions now going to the mpd server on the freevo
machine.
I'm hoping that the freevo mpd client will integrate the rest of this into
freevo but can't tell if this will solve our common problem with the music.
I didn't find album-tree really easy to use and haven't used it on my new
install
summary (current)
music player daemon running as server on freevo machine
music can be elsewhere on network
mpd client (anywhere on network) searches the lists and makes playlists
freevo box makes noise in loungeroom as requested
(future)
freevo mpd client plays on request.
i have no idea yet what its search capabilities are or whether it will be
rated useful or hopeless.
