Music

Been doing a lot of playing with Music in Linux. I am moving all of my music over to Linux, where I will manage the library with Banshee, which supports iTunes-like file and folder renaming. I will be using rsync to keep the music files updated on my Windows box (which syncs with iPhone and Zune), and my media center, which will be playing music with MPD.

Speaking of mpd, I just got it set up and must say it is the awesome. I can have it playing music with no other programs running, and control the daemon with something like Ario, Sonata, ncmpc, or my favorite on the media center, MPoD (for iPhone/iTouch). What's nice about mpd is that since it's a server and the controllers are clients, I'm not really limited to how many clients can be connected unless I choose to limit it. They can all connect at once and get the same information, just like this screenshot:
