Always wanted to create your own music database that you can connect to from all over the world? Well, then Ampache is the right tool for you. What you need is a webserver, MySQL database, and music files like MP3's. That's about it.

Ampache will use the information found in the tags of your music files to fill it's database. So, if you want a perfect and clean database you first have to edit you files using a tag editor. This can take a lot of time, even months if you have thousands of mp3's on your server. It certainly is rewarding (if you create a good backup.. dough!), but not a nessecity. Ampache can also show album covers. Very slick. After installation and configuration you can connect to your webserver from any webbrowser and download a m3u file. This file is imported in you local music player like winamp. And now you can listen to your favorite music at work!
