I have all of my music (about 150GB) on a P3/512MB Ubuntu Server 8.04 box in the other room. I typically work on my Laptop Core 2 Duo/4GB Ubuntu 8.04 (either 100Mbit or Wireless). I was wondering if anyone knew a good solution for playing my music off my P3 Server on my Laptop. I have tried samba mounting my music folder with the following script: #!/bin/sh smbmount //<a href="http://192.168.43.41/music/">192.168.43.41/music/</a> /home/david/Music/ -o username=david,password=mypassword (192.168.43.41 is my P3 server) This works to access my music (a mix of mp3/flac) but it skips when I play it with VLC/Songbird/every other media player iv tired. I can of course copy some of it to my files to my local disk and play it fine from there but this a huge pain and i would really like to be able to use Songbird to create play lists / organise my files. I was hopping someone might have found a good solution for remotly playing music (preferably with Songbird). I googled a bit with no success. Optionaly i would like something that would work with Movies as well but i could live without this. Some sort of ACL would be nice as well since there are other poeple on my network i would like to give read (but not write) access to. Thanks -David
