* Package name : groovebasin Version : 1.1.0 Upstream Author : Andrew Kelley <superjo...@gmail.com> * URL : http://groovebasin.com/ * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: Node.js Description : music player server with a web-based user interface Run it on a server connected to some speakers in your home or office. Guests can control the music player by connecting with a laptop, tablet, or smart phone. Further, you can stream your music library remotely. Groove Basin works with your personal music library; not an external music service. Fast and responsive. It feels like a desktop app, not a web app. Dynamic Mode which automatically queues random songs, favoring songs that have not been queued recently. Drag and drop upload. Drag and drop playlist editing. Keyboard shortcuts for everything. Lazy multi-core EBU R128 loudness scanning (tags compatible with ReplayGain) and automatic switching between track and album mode. Streaming support. MPD protocol support. This means you already have a selection of clients which integrate with Groove Basin. For example MPDroid. If you're writing a new client, upgrade to the Groove Basin Protocol with the protocolupgrade command. Last.fm scrobbling. File system monitoring. Add songs anywhere inside your music directory and they instantly appear in your library in real time. This app is similar to MPD - even going so far as to support the MPD protocol, but has replaygain scanning built in and a browser-based client built in. I have used it as my primary music player for 3 years now. I plan to maintain it as part of the pkg-multimedia team.
