I spent most of the day today at work browsing freshmeat looking for mp3 jukebox software. Most of the packages i was interested in seemed to rely heavily on PHP 4 and MySQL. So I downloaded the rpms for my Red Hat 7.1 box and installed them. The PHP install was simple...but the MySQL rpm said I had to do all this stuff afterwards. And then I would download one of the mp3 jukebox programs and it would say i had to do all this stuff in the SQL databases and stuff. Can anyone help me out here? I have bout 2 gigs of mp3s at work and would love to move them all onto my linux box there and so forth...thanks in advance.

What exactly do you want to do with it? A little creative bash or perl scripting and mpg123 could prolly do it for you...

well...i would love to be able to use my browser on another machine and chose the files to play on the linux box....i am still not sure if the programs i looked at would stream the audio or not...which would be cool...but just a simple juke box would be fine....do a search on mp3 jukeboxes on freshmeat and u will see what i am talkin bout.

Why not just use samba?

well I have considered that...thing is...I use a very simplified smb.conf file that I saw on here and after a period of time...my win2k machines will disconnect from the samba share and then I have to disconnect and reconnect to the share...do you know of a setting I can add to the smb.conf to prevent this?

That's typical Windows behavior - if you aren't accessing anything on a mapped drive, it will "suspend" your mapping to it. I see this all day long with Win2k to Win2k mappings. My whole department shares my mp3 collection, and as long as they are playin music, it stays mapped.

Look into xmms and icecast... I know theres a way you can hook up xmms to the icecast streaming mp3 server such that whatever isplayed on xmms is streamed. That way you can just telnet in, tell xmms what to play and then point winamp to the linux box.

well I did download icecast and install it but couldn't make head nor tails of how to make it work...
