I use GMPC from a Thinkpad over WiFi. It does have a random play list plugin. I usually listen to music in a dedicated room with the lights dimmed low. Even with the LCD set to it's lowest it is distracting. That's why I'm really looking forward to you application. I hope the rules change so that you can start distributing your software soon.

Is it not possible to use the MPC client to choose random music to play?

I would love to help with testing. I have MPD setup on the the PC Engines Alix 3c2 (http://www.pcengines.ch/alix3c2.htm) with Voyage Linux setup up on a 512MB compact flash. Voyage is stripped down Debian Etch for embedded devices. It keeps apt for easy installation of packages. The desktop computer, in another room, has NFS running. The Alix is pulling FLAC files via NFS; also keeps all the MPD files (playlists, log files, etc.) there as well so that there is no need to keep writing to the compact flash. Output is via USB (snd-usb-audio ALSA module) which connects to a USB digital to analog converter. By the way, any plans for a very simple random shuffle MPD app?? Keep us updated on the status of the MPD client! I would love to help with testing.

I would love to use one as a remote for my high end system. I am currently setting up silent MPD server on a PC Engines ALIX single board computer.
