12 Well, mpd was it! Thanks a lot. It has tons of features none of those
13 other applications had. Such as a number of various clients to fully
14 controll mpd. It's great. At this time it only streams out ogg, due to
15 mp3 licensing issues, but I understand that. At least I can stream my
16 entire collection now, and have a great ammount of control over it.
