Free MP3 Streaming Server
This post should be filed under the title of things that are hard to find on the internet, but shouldn’t be that hard. Anyway, I was looking for a web server that could let me browse my every growing MP3 collection (they are all legally ripped by the way) thats on my home server and then let me build a dynamic playlist while the MP3s are being streamed. So after a little bit of searching I found Slimserver. Its free, has its own built-in web server, and the interface is quite good. The server is really intended to be used with the Squeezebox, a hardware MP3 playback device for the home, but it works equally well with any MP3 software player like Winamp or Windows Media Player. Now I can access my music collection anywhere I have access to the internet. Kudos to Slim Devices for providing this software for free download. Its actually an interesting form of marketing, now that I’m using their server I have become more interested in buying their products.
