You speak my longings !
okay, like you discussed, 1. step would be to establish file transfer using samba, and then there is a script out there ( and here ) that creates a directory, where all mp3's are symbolic links with nice filenames ( artist-album-title.mp3 ).
So thats it !
When i got time ( in a year or two :-) ) i hope to get samba running on the empeg, of course it would be "oh so nice" if we get a kind of toolkit from the empeg guys, that some people already asked for -> httpd, samba, ...
The guy that created the script runs a httpd on his emeg, so he browses his mp3 archive with the Internet Explorer :-)
Nice, ey ?
