With a bit of scripting knowledge and a reasonably clean code base for the web app it shouldn't be too hard to put together something like that - you'd just need to write a CGI that accepts a a filename and sends it to mplayer (stopping any other currently running track first, of course - if you want to get really fancy, you could try cross-fading :-) ) and then hack the web app so that its play buttons link to that CGI instead of whatever it uses to do the streaming. Given a nice, slim web app, this shouldn't take more than 2 hours, maybe a lot less. I'd look into it, but I'm swamped with other stuff at the moment. Jens
