Subsonic Music Server: Awesome!

[Sporkman]

Outstanding application, I highly recommend it. Installed quick & easy on my ubuntu home server. It's a web-accessed, java-based server.

Once it's up & running, it serves up a fancy flash webpage with a login - once logged in, it took only a few minutes to get set up. It recognized & cataloged all my music and fetched all the cover art without a hitch.

Great for sharing music across multiple client platforms - for example, my music is encoded in flac, and my wife's Mac doesn't do flac without downloading a special player like Cog. With this web-based scheme, Subsonic streams it in a format that the client recognizes.

I highly recommend! Free & open source of course.

This is pretty sweet. I was thinking of using sshfs to get my music from my server, but this is even better because I can use it on non-Linux machines without extra hassle.

Hmm. The cover art doesn't seem to work properly.
Edit: For some reason, it refused to create thumbnails when logged in as admin. I created a new account and thumbnails are fine. Or maybe it worked because I did this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5948981).
