SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
ample
Ample is an MP3 server that allows you to listen to your music that
can be stored locally or remotely. It does not intend to support mixing,
radio shows etc. It's just an easy way to listen to your MP3's everywhere
using the "open location" features already present in XMMS, WinAmp and
Media Player.
After installing, configuring and starting ample, try connecting to
http://server:1234/
with the "open location" feature of your favourite MP3 player or
http://server:1234/index.html
with your favourite web browser.
