Music Server

Bucko has written a music server for compsoc LANs, which is quite useful. You add songs to it via a very simple http post method. At the last LAN I wrote a few bits and bobs to make it integrate better with Modern Desktops, rather than having to upload songs once at a time via a web page.

I have a script that takes a list of commandline arguments that are either files or directories and then just uploads them all. Please note that you should use this to spam your entire music directory at the server, just to allow uploading an album one go, rather than loads of seperate files. Note the ip address is hard coded to avoid lookup issues. You want to put this somewhere in your path.

There is also an addition to the Thunar send-to menu that script that allows one to simply right click and send to for a list of files/folders. Same caveat about spamming the music server applies here. You want to put this at ~/.local/share/Thunar/sendto .

Due to FDO standards the same send to plugin should work fine in nautilus or Konqueror, however, I have not tried this and you use at your own risk.
