Im not sure that what I am looking for exists, but given the diversity of programs out there, I feel like I must just be missing it.
I have set up an old laptop as a stere component -- a kind of giant clunky ipod. Unfortunately, the hard drive is small enough that only a small fraction of my collection fits on it. Lots of the time this is fine, but sometimes I want to play some other stuff. Therefore what Id like best is a music player that (a) runs locally on the old laptop, and allows me to access that local hard drive; (b) can also access files on the local network -- perhaps files made availablethrough some server on my desktop; (c) allows playlists to be constructed on a third, remote computer -- say my new laptop -- through the use of some client program. (d) best case scenario, this whole system somehow integrates with rhythmbox or amarok. Ive looked into this a little bit and it somunds to me that what I am looking for is some kind of combination of slimserver and mpd. Or maybe mpd + nfs mounted file systems (how slow does THAT make things?). Anyone have any hints on how to proceed? Appreciate it as usual! thanks, Matt -------------------------- .''`.
