Maybe I judged OwnCloud too soon. It handles pictures in the browser, at le=
ast on Ubuntu, so I'm tempted to believe that if I add some thingies to it,=
 it'll handle music and movies in-browser, too. Hmm...=20

Recommendations have been Plex, subsonic/madsonic, and your mp3mystic.=20

I think we should have a hacking Saturday in May, with no particular agenda=
 except to eat muffins, drink coffee (and/or Scotch) and figure out how to =
do this without proprietary software. Sound like fun?=20

RHCE+Satellite CCAH Network+ A+ Linux+ LPIC-1 UbuntuCP NovellCLA=20
Mobile 720-333-LANS(5267)=20

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.=20
