I made a change in the blogger configuration to ease the later work when blogging. It is possible that older entries are not correctly formatted.

AjaxMP - a small Music server

In order to listen to your music on the local network, a php based tool: AjaxMP using mpd as music publishing daemon. Edit

I noticed that the mpd server must be configured in another way if you want to publish it to other nodes in the network.

For this:
  1. install mpd
  2. set password and port for mpd
  3. add music to the mpd directory
  4. extract the tar from ajaxmp in a php enabled web server
  5. copy config.php.dist to config.php
  6. edit the mpd parameters: host, port and password
  7. copy user.txt.example to user.txt
  8. add for each person needing access a username and a password separated by tabs
The stored password can be stored as md5, and in that way somewhat more secure... But not much!!!
