webplay
Webplay creates, from a collection of MP3s and Ogg Vorbis files (indexed from a directory or MySQL/PostgreSQL database), a Web-based jukebox with support for multiple independent streams. If Lame/oggenc are available, it can change the bitrate or codec of a file in real time to a selectable value. Each user controls their stream via a Web interface and can skip back, forward, or to a specific track; increment or decrement the bitrate; and check the current playlist, song, or bitrate. Playlists can be looped, randomized, played locally on the webserver, edited, deleted, reused, or renamed.

Release Notes: This release adds a skin interface to the Javascript client, support for Mac OS X.2 (Jaguar) as a server, and compresses the cache files for greatly decreased load times.

Release Notes: This release adds support for the Ogg Vorbis codec. Streams can be either MP3 or Ogg Vorbis at a selectable codec and bitrate, and, just as importantly, the source files can be any combination of MP3s and Ogg Vorbis. The Java client also gains file selection via regexes.

webplay ROCKS!
I just set this up and am totally blown away by how well done it is. Try it!

i just checked in the code to support streaming Ogg-
Vorbis and to use Ogg-Vorbis files in the repository. it's
in testing (grab the CVS release) and a release is
imminent.
Re: Vorbis?
funny you should mention that .. ;-)
Vorbis?
I would use this program religiously if only it had support for Vorbis! OGG is much better for internet streaming than MP3 is because it sounds much better at lower bitrates. Please consider adding this feature, and I'll be your friend forever, and I'll actually use your program!
