There's already an interface for controlling Rhythmbox from a remote program, using the interface exposed via Bonobo. It'll probably be easier to use that instead of adding a TCP/IP interface. It's not a full command set, but it might be enough for what you want to do. You can take a look at Rhythmbox Applet [0] for an example of how you can use it. > First though I need help installing this app. I've been using linux for > six years as a server, but I don't have much experience installing user > apps.

If you want to install from source, unpack the tarball and do: ./configure make make install That's the standard procedure for most software. If you're just looking for a ready-made RPM for Mandrake, someone else on this list ought to be able to point you in the right direction. (I use Debian myself, so I wouldn't know.)
