MPoD
Music Player Daemon (MPD) allows remote access for playing music (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Mod, and wave files) and managing playlists. MPD is designed for integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides control for music playback over a local network.
I have MPD installed on my Ubuntu server, which connects to an amplifier and the speakers in my livingroom. Currently I’m controlling the music either through theremin (a Mac OS X client for MPD) or through the remote control of my FS20 wireless home automation system, which is also integrated with my server (I’ll talk about that in blog entry sometime).The iPod Touch makes for a great way to control the MPD server, with an iTunes like interface. Since the release of the iPhone SDK I have started the development of such an MPD client. On this page I will report on the progess, show some screenshots etc.

It’s good to know you are working on on MPD client for the iPod. 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.
