That's neat, but not quite what I had in mind. I'm envisioning something not too different than iTunes, without the playing/ripping/burning/iTMS parts. I'm sure I could just create a database with paths to files and the metadata I'm interested in; write some code to keep the DB in sync with the library; and use something like phpMyAdmin to edit and view the info over the web.

That's pretty much what I'm doing now, which I'm trying to move away from. I've seen a couple linux-based jukeboxes that integrate file management and music playback (e.g., slimserver, mdb). I'd be willing to use one of those as long as the file management aspect is sufficiently strong. Can anyone vouch for one of those? Is there any better way to manage a large music library that I haven't even imagined yet? -Eamon -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
