Currently it is only for music, but soon +there will possibly be support for other media. + +Much of this code is inspired by Arch Linux's package manager called Pacman. +The reason for this was mainly because the concept of separate libraries in this +project and separate package repositories can share a lot of code. For more +information about Pacman, see <https://archlinux.org/pacman>. + +## Why bother? ## + +This project is to solve a problem in the media server world of making a really +cool system, then making it so basic functionality turns into a premium feature +(in other words, paid features). + +Another goal of this is to create a relatively simple system with not many +features that will make things complicated and slow. Yet make it so clients can +connect and play or download your media. + +This is just the server aspect of it. This manages a simple database to keep +track of media. There is also a basic web interface included. + +So far, this only tracks audio and may be updated to include video and other +media. + +## Why no code? ## + +I (Mark Weiman) am still designing this and will take some time before it's +ready. If you are interested in this, just check back and see if something's +done. |
