Changelog

1.0 - 2011-03-09 - Initial Release

Installation

To use this application, you need:

• node.js (http://nodejs.org/). I used version 0.4.2.
• npm (http://npmjs.org/)
  • bootstrap the node environment: npm install express ejs formidable socket.io
• ffmpeg with libmp3lame installed. If you want to support AAC, OGG, and Flac, you'll want those libraries, too. Debian users should use debian-multimedia.org; Ubuntu users can use medibuntu.org. Or compile from source.
• Optional: Perl and the following modules. Without these, the site will not parse the media files for tags or covers.
  • Image::Magick
  • Music::Tag
  • Music::Tag::FLAC
  • Music::Tag::M4A
  • Music::Tag::MP3
  • Music::Tag::OGG
  • Music::Tag::Amazon (optional)
    • If you want Amazon support, edit the gettags.pl script to set your Amazon Developer token and secret key.
• Review and edit the settings in config.js
• To run the application, execute node ./server.js and connect with a web browser.
