== Overview ==
I have listened to Shoutcast radio streams for the past couple of years. Rather than carry all my cd's or fill my phone with my mp3's, I wanted a way to access my music library from anywhere. All you need is an internet connection, a computer, and a little bit of free software. This is not a complete how-to, consider it more of a guide to show you were to look. As I come across good tutorials, I'll include links to them here. Of course, feel free to ask me any questions, I'd be happy to help!

== Features ==
* Password protected stream, so access is limited and controlled
* Remote administration and play-list building through a web-based GUI
* CLI for administration and play-list building if desired

== Requirements ==
* Computer with enough local storage
* Internet connection- at least 20KBps upstream bandwidth
* Windows/Linux/Mac OS (this article will be for linux)
* [http://www.icecast.org/index.php Icecast2 ]
* [http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki MPD]
* [http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki Ampache]
* [http://unkart.ovh.org/ncmpcpp/ Ncmpcpp]

== Setup Instructions ==

* Setup MPD- [http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Configuration MPD Wiki] make sure to set up the shoutcast section (for Icecast) and the httpd section, to verify you have a working stream

* Setup a MPD Client [http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/ncmpcpp-ncurses-mpd-client-shell-music.html Ncmpcpp]

* Verify the player can see your music, add some tracks to the playlist and check to see if its playing

* Setup Icecast2- [http://www.icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.2.0/icecast2_config_file.html Icecast Docs]

* Verify you can see the Icecast page at http://localhost:8000

* Verify you can hear your stream by going to http://localhost:8000/stream

* Setup Ampache [http://ampache.org/wiki/ Ampache Wiki] Follow the preparing your OS for Ampache, then go through the web-browser based setup

* Sign in to Ampache, build your catalog, and start playing :)

== Issues ==
* MPD neesd to be reset everytime you change your config (sudo /etc/init.d/mpd reset), you'll find that it solves a lot of issues if your player cannot connect

* Icecast will let you know when you mess up your config file, similar to MPD, it needs to be restarted every time you make a change (sudo /etc/init.d/icecast2 restart). I recommend going through section by section and restarting at each instance to verify every-thing's happy. If not- just check the line that the error tells you about.

* Ampache will sometimes flake out on passing the playlist to MPD, that's why we have Ncmpcpp as a fallback if needed.Sometimes it just needs to clear the playlist and start fresh.

* You will listen to too much music :p
