It is nice because it uses a database to organize everything. You can create custom playlists. Awesome overall for setting up a streaming server. It is probably overkill for what you want to do but I like having access to all my mp3s from anywhere I go.

Whoah......thanks for the link dude. I'd been using Edna ( http://edna.sourceforge.net ) for a while and while it did the job I was looking for something more. This DEFINITELY is that more so I'll definitely be loading it onto my jukebox server.

Yeah I used Edna for a good long time also. I just hated it because I had to rig it so much to make it a service. I wasn't happy with the python implementation. I switched to Streamsicle but the problem with it was that everyone had to listen to the same songs. Netjuke is nice for what I wanted with tons of features

Just share a folder on the Jukebox and use winamp to select the songs. Easy and free.

ugh...netjuke just renamed all my music directories and files to letters. I wanted to see what the "organize" feature did...well now I know, it fscks up your sh1t. Fscking piece of crap!!! :| It's going to take me days to fix all that.

Maybe user error? I have been using it for weeks and haven't had a single problem.
