If you use HIVE for ONLY streaming MP3s, why not skip messing with HIVE and get the software from the makers directly?

--------
Ampache

Whether or not you know it, HIVE just put a theme over the MP3 application "Ampache" to make it look like it's actually HIVE, here's where you can get it

http://www.ampache.org/download.php

I ran into several problems when I installed it, the config wasn't compatible for some reason, so I merely copied the config from HIVE "center/music/config/ampache.cfg.php" to "/ampache/config" and as far as I remembered that made it install correctly.

The themes suck in Ampache, so I suggest you stick with the default or make your own and then SHARE it it possible.

--------
Flam Player

The alternative to Ampache that I was attracted to was Flam Player
http://www.flamplayer.com/

I don't know how it performs and never installed it only for the sole reason that it uses Flash, and my x86_64 Ubuntu can't run flash Thanks to Adobe/Macromedia. Anyways, hope this helps, and if anyone knows of any other/better/nicer MP3 streaming software, I would LOVE to hear from you!

I found another player that looks equally/more promising
