I have an icecast server at home. I'm looking for a graphical icecast cl=
ient that lets any number of users add and remove music from the current =
playlist. It has to run on my NetBSD desktop and on my Ubuntu Powerbook =
G3 laptop. For bonus points, it may run on my OpenZaurus/Opie Sharp Zaru=
s. Any suggestions?
In pkgsrc, audio/musicpd looked perfect until I found out while it plays =
anything, it only streams OGG. My MacSense HomePod plays MP3s only. (A=
ctually, with a tiny bit of cleverness on my part, it will play OGG but i=
t won't scroll the ID3 info on the LCD display then.)
audio/amarok has a plugin that sends the currently playing song to an ice=
cast server but it's broken in the most recent version of Amarok.
Java-based clients aren't an option because the Powerbook doesn't have th=
e AWT. I'm not aware of any AWT for PPC Linux.
I've been wary of anything that requires Apache but at this point, I'm wi=
lling to give it a try.
