I’ve not had a lot of luck in google finding a suitable solution to this so I’m casting this to “the floor” for further input.
I’m looking for a Linux based MP3 player that can be remotely controlled by a web browser.
Netxmms looked promising but the developer seemed to have won the lottery or got shipped to Guantanamo Bay around 2004. No new updates since.
The sort of hardware I have in mind would be a ropey old laptop with a non functional screen that could just sit by the Hifi and read its files from a Windows shared drive.
This could also be quite useful at Mojos when everybody is too wobbly to burn a CD and walk all the way over to the sound system.
I had a hardware solution to do this a while ago but the only user interface was through a TV screen. Would be nice to find one that you can use as a networked jukebox
