Rolling Your Own Jukebox System?

Nurgled asks: "I've been tasked with implementing a client-server jukebox-like system using normal bits of PC equipment. The general idea is to have a central server with all of the music available and then one or more clients which have a kiosk-type interface for browsing the available music and enqueueing it on the central server, all connected to a normal ethernet network. It's important that none of the kiosks should be able to perform any operation other than enqueue new tracks, but it would also be handy if there was a separate administrative console where tracks can be skipped, which would then be available to the venue owners. The kiosks don't have very fancy hardware and most don't have touch-screens, so ideally it should support both mouse and keyboard-based operation. Is there any software already out there that can do this, or am I going to have to write my own? I'd prefer an integrated solution, but I also wouldn't mind separate client and server software as long as I can tweak both to make them work together. Any ideas?"

Kinda' cute.

User is from "Opensource-strategies.com" and already is trying to make a profit!!

The first thing people see when visiting the website is a plea for users to understand that no fraud exists on with respect to this organization.

Then you're business is selling copies of iso's people can dl for free?

Might I suggest changing the domain name to "ripoff-strategies.com"???? :)
