Playing My Music »
I mentioned a couple weeks ago how I've been ripping my music. I've also previously mentioned one way that I've been playing my music. I've recently decided to do some more exploring on this front.
While I like the ability to stream a particular playlist easily, and even do it over the internet if I so desire, I found that the playlist information - song title and such - was lacking when I used software with the Slim Server software. This seemed to be the case whether I was using their Soft Squeeze software, iTunes or even Windows Media Player. So I started hunting again.
For the moment, I've settled on trusty old Winamp, though the lite software doesn't seem to handle AAC playing, even though it says that it should. No problem, however, as I've found an MP4 Input Plugin for Winamp, which handles everything I need. Back in business!

Does Winamp have a facility allowing you to host your music from your hard drive (like a server if you have a broadband connection,etc) and remotely access it via http? like soft squeeze s/ware allows you?

Not to my knowledge, but I don't really have a need for it, so I haven't checked. It's quite possible someone has a plugin for Winamp that does this very thing. The main problem I see is that you'd require a server component of sorts to run as a service. Not sure if Winamp could do that particularly well.
