The link to the plugin is working now, check it out.
I'm downloading it now, it's 7mb but only going 10kb/s so I'm not sure what it'll be.

Try RadioToolBox for php based or mod_mp3 for apache module based.

Or if you can write some php code, it's not so hard to write one up yourself.

Just list the files in a music directory and create playlist(pls or m3u) upon click.

werks fine for me

I have the same problem, iTunes crashes with a "do you want to send MS a bug report". I was willing to dual-boot into winXP just to try out an Apple endorsed product, shame on me. At least xmms and mod_mp3 (plug tangent.org) works for me.

If you're talking about Apache, then you're not talking about streaming.

Idiot,

Since you are grossly uninformed and exceedingly stupid, let me spell it out for you. "Streaming" is defined as "A technique for transferring data such that it can be processed as a steadyÂand continuous stream." The key feature is that the data is played as it is downloaded.

Apache can very easily stream audio. It can do this running on platforms aside from Windows.

If I were as stupid as you are, I'd be depressed to.

You meant "too", moron.

I can remember krow (aka Brian Aker) tell me in IRC about how he setup apache2 to just server images. Like the most simple thing you can do. It requires no special threading, or proces modes, just http1.1. At most, they can do geographic ad targeting with revers DNS lookups tied to the image servers. Blah... still not that special, but at least they can say they run apache2. I have also read where he claims apache2 is't ready for prime time. This is very telling, not because he is senior Slashdot developer, but more because he is known best for his apache 1.3 modules, such as mod_mp3, or mod_layout.

Man, I'm just glad the book is over so Brian Aker can work on mod_mp3 instead of slash junk all the time. When he was working on the book, it was like he stopped working on everything else. When the book was over, there was a new version of mod_mp3 just a week later. The funny part is that nobody really knows what krow does until after he does whatever he does. Like, I didn't know about any book until the week he finished it. Funny guy. Me and another mod_mp3 user setup a slashsite about mod_mp3, maybe I should actually go get the book too. However, I hear that the book isn't for perl hackers, but rather for the person who doessn't care how the internals of slashcode work. This is direct from the Author too (well Brian anyways). Krow has told me that if there were any person he could give the book to, it would be his slash using room-mate, who runs a slash site, and knows nothing of how the insides of slash work.

PostgreSQL has a much better perl based stored procedure language than mySQL has. Unlike the mySQL hack, the Pg implementation is a complete procedure language -- you can even use the normal DBI syntax to run queries against the database.

They're krows, actually. I wanted an octopus.

In case anyone doesn't know... this is the developer sanctuary. A place for developers to communicate without the weenies getting in the way.... well their are still weenies (this is irc ya know), but it is at least a more stable place. I've been using it to work on mod_mp3... stop by #mod_mp3 on irc.linux.com sometime.

To date we had one bug in Innodb that I have found (and we found one other in replication, but no one would have noticed that other then the fellow who has to keep this stuff running...). We have had some growing pains that we have went to. In our first week of operation we had a number of hardware problems bring us down (we have since moved hardware) which was only related to the DB's because MySQL was running on that Hardware. This http://www.tangent.org/~brian/talks/dbsummit_scali ng/ take you to some slides that I did for a talk I gave on Slashdot's DB.

Oh yes you can, you're just not allowed to do so ;-)

E2's going to need more speed, though, and no one's had time yet to hook up the second hamster.

Maybe it's different 'cuz of my business dealings, but Malda sure wasn't a whiny prima-donna. He's got his opinions and all, but doesn't take himself too seriously (really!). I now have the impression half the stupid article comments are meant to poke fun at himself.

Besides that, he bought a round of drinks one night and supper another. (Of course, he probably did it to pay back Jim Gettys for the years of work on X11.)

I still wouldn't hire him to write software that anyone else would ever maintain, though.

I was thinking the same thing, 'till I followed a link to the documentation. It has quite a bit more info about the project.

I don't know that much about Apache, but it looks pretty simple to use.

"What are we going to do tonight, Bill?"
