| Everything is there that you need. Basically, you have to have a web server set up on another machine, and pull the mp3 across your lan. In our case, we have an iBook running OSX and it comes with a built in web server. We plug into the LAN, and then basically do this at the console:
mpg123 http://172.16.3.2/mp3/mysong.mp3
It'll play, just turn the volume up. If it doesn't work the first time, reboot. It didn't work for us the first time for some reason. Also, the jailbait packages claims to be able to sream mp3's via netscape, but we couldn't get it to work. I wish there were some sort of gui useable. :\ I guess he figures that if we can get it on a network, we can use the network to run a better mp3 player, but there's no samba in jailbait, so I can't use shares off of my lan. There's no scsi support (probably because there's no scsi controller on the IO) so I can't use my Orb Drive, which connects using a USB -> SCSI adapter. If the latter were there I probably wouldn't even buy a 2.5 hard drive. I'd just mount my Orb and be done with it. I wonder if jbaitis even reads this board anymore?
