The only perl module I had to add to my system was gettext this can be got through CPAN, or for convenience out of my web-space at http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~enxrah/gettext-1.01.tar.gz Luckily there doen't seem to have been much changes to the trunk since I started the ui_branch, however I want to know should I try and track changes in the trunk? Is there an easy way of doing this? Or is the eventual merge going to be a painful experience whatever happens? > Another problem I'm facing is that all my mp3s are encoded at 128Kbps VBR with > lame.

If you really want everyone in both locations to here the same music, then you could modify the obsd to let them cooperatively share the same database. I'm not really familiar with the daemon, but I imagine that it's only the locking, and caching (if you use removable media) that needs work - unless you want some degree of syncronisation. If you have high enough bandwidth, then you could share the mp3 volumes via NFS or if not, and you have the disk space, you could just mirror them locally.
