Ample is a simple MP3 server written in C. It does
not support mixing, radio shows, etc. Ample is
just intended to be an easy way to remotely listen
to your MP3s using the "open location" features in
XMMS, WinAmp, and Media Player.
Information regarding Project Releases and Project Resources. Note that the information here is a quote from Freecode.com page, and the downloads themselves may not be hosted on OSDN.
HTTP authentication has been added, as well as support for "filters" (which means that you can, for instance, downsample the music files before they are sent to the clients). HTML encoding of any "weird" characters is another important improvement which should help people with funny file names.
A status page has been added, some minor bugs have been fixed, and SysV IPC (SHM) has been removed due to too many bug reports. This version is considered feature complete, and the work that remains up until 0.6.X is bug squashing.
SysV IPC (SHM) is now used to store the file information (where available),
which should save physical memory. Some memory leaks were fixed. Man pages were
added and HTML template support was implemented (to customize the Web pages
generated by Ample).
Ability to use multiple MP3 file sources, M3U import (use an M3U file as a source of MP3 files), and song length support (which is useful in the M3U files sent to clients).
