[GLLUG] streaming music

[Thomas Driscoll]

Just a thought I have a filer running FreeBSD on a:

CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (265.54-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x633  Stepping = 3
  Features=0x80fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,MMX>
real memory  = 67108864 (64 MB)
avail memory = 56033280 (53 MB)

I use NFS and just export out my music directory and then mount it on other workstations. I have used Rhythmbox, Audacity, XMMS, ect to play the music off this share with out any problems. I also store mp4 videos off that as well and they play fine. I use Samba as I still have one computer running Micro$oft OS and I read out of that same directory. 

So basically I just do "mount 192.168.1.10:/usr/home/music /mnt/music"

The only gotchas to be aware of are the UIDs and GUIDs I have made sure all mine are the same across all my machines.

I hope this helps :)
