Intranet music web application for an office media server?

Question

My office is thinking of setting up a media server with speakers connected to it so that everyone in our office can queue up music via a web app. Right now we just pass around a speaker cable.

Does anyone know of a Linux web app we could install or some third-party web service that would allow anyone with access to the site/account to queue up music to be played on the media server?

Is there a webapp that could find shared music on the local network?

Answer 1

Setup winamp on the server... create shares on each of the client machines and have winamp monitor those shares for new files. Install ajaxAmp and you should be good... I assume ajaxAmp has some sort of access control but if not it sounds like you're on a lan anyways so you should be good.

Answer 2

If you mean the users should be able to pull media (and create a local playlists) from the server then do give GNUMP3d a try.
