Thanks guys. <br>
<br>
I've heard of Grooveshark. Unfortunately I have an iPhone
(embarassingly...) and I don't think they're compatible. There are
ways I could do this through uploading to cloud storage and
streaming via ftp or something, but I can't be bothered waiting for
uploads, etc. I also like the idea of getting round this more
independently too- simple concept, just wish the actualization was
simpler. <br>
<br>
I thought there would be people who have a functioning media server
available anywhere with access to internet already...<br>
<br>
I've got the UI of mediatomb working....but now stuck with that,
unable to figure out how to connect to it via another machine over
lan!<br>
<br>
A talk would be great on this! I've also been thinking once my
academic duties have settled down a bit I would love to present an
autoethnography of my experience of becoming a Linux user, leaving
the proper space of Windows, learning, the tactics of Linux and the
strategies of Windows and apple. But that's another email I guess...<br>
<br>

Sounds like a talk on either of them would be good for some future
LivLUG :-D (or, at least, I'd be interested in hearing more about
the options and what they do...)<br>

That's not very helpful. I'll keep thinking and I'm sure it'll
pop into my mind again. Anyone have an idea what I'm talking
about? It's a music server platform that you host yourself. The
most popular alternative for people who don't want to use
Google.

<div>I'll be scratching my head over that trying to remember all
day. Good luck with Ampache and Mediatomb. They're slightly
different projects I think. Mediatomb is aimed at video as
much as music.</div>

<br>
Thanks for the reply. I'd seen mediatomb about but it
seemed to me a lot of users pointed to Ampache. Ampache
does look very good and very extensible. If I knew
anything about servers I might be able to get it to
work- you will probably get a lot more from it than I
have so far. <br>
<br>
Meanwhile, I will get tinkering with Mediatomb. Thanks
for the re-heads up. <br>
<br>
Seems to me my need for a media server able to
serve/stream my music to me anywhere is a really current
issue and desire computer users have. It's basically a
personal spotify, etc., So it would be great to have a
more 'autonomous' way of doing it. It's all just so I
can stream music from my laptop when I walk into town at
lunchtime each day. <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

<div>Hopefully this isn't a completely off-topic
reply but I don't know much about Ampache. I've
never looked at it to be honest. I use Mediatomb
to serve video and audio from my machines across
the network via DNLA. My PS3, other computers
and devices can consume that pretty easily. It's
all packaged in Ubuntu but works well on other
distros too. The web interface is also
nice. Have a look at - <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Meanwhile I'm going to check out Ampache and
see what it can do. You might find it's a better
solution for what you want. I'm interested to
play with it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Good luck! Maybe someone else can offer more
specific Ampache advice :)</div>

<br>
I've heard a few others mention using media
servers to serve their media throughout the
home and across the internet. This is
something I would love to figure out- I
finally tried over the past couple of days,
using Ampache. I was wondering if anybody
could advise me on setting it up so it
actually works because so far I haven't been
able to access music through any other
machine.<br>
<br>
Ampache is successfully set up on localhost
and catalogues of music are connected. It
will play music via flash on localhost but I
can't seem to make it stream, and can't
figure out the 'localplay' set up, using
VLC, etc.<br>
<br>
The available support for Ampache seems
quite fragmented. There is forums and
support from independent users but no real
'manual' for unknowledgeable amateurs like
myself... this is the first time I'm setting
up a server really- I've messed about with
servers a little in the past, but most of it
is over my head.<br>
<br>
Could anybody give some advice, describe
their own experiences, or how else I might
be able to successfully stream/serve music
over the internet, to all machines I have
access to, including a mobile (unfortunately
an iPhone at the mo...)??? I'm not really
completely sure of the system I would need
to go about making this happen, and how I
could set up Ampache to do that....<br>
<br>
Any help really appreciated. Thanks guys.<br>
<br>
