I will look further into it. Allow me to explain in more detail what obsidianmusic actually is, and does. Obsidianmusic does not play music in itself, it is actually a buch of php webpages that connect to an Amarok music database. This gives you a nice view of your library within a web browser, and allows you to download or listen (depends on configuration, not both) to your music. This actually creates a .m3u file (playlist) you can download and run in your average media player. The music is actually served through the webserver (in case of download the server generates a .tar.gz file). This allows you to have different clients, listening to different songs or playlists, I'm not sure if this is possible in mpd. Building the DB is as easy as pointing Amarok to a mysql DB and then scanning the collection. In my case the webserver and data is on a headless server, I use a separate machine to scan the collection (using NFS, mounted at the same location as on the server). It is the webinterface I'm looking for, so to have different clients play different things at the same time. Regards, Steven
