I don't mind using external programs for organizing and tagging my music (musicbrainz picard, mp3tag, foobar2000), because I like the idea of the read-only access from Squeezecenter. But these past days I used Amarok for a while again after many months using only Squeezecenter, and I must say

I've been using Firetongue Software OrangeCD as a music librarian, very happy how it scans and catalogue the files, plus you can add amounts of additional info into it's database. The PC client app. has a good integration to any Sqeezecenter, so you can click on any music and have it playing from

I'm another one of those folks who really, (and I mean -really-) don't want any web-based app to have write access to my music collection. Somebody manages to break in, there's no mess for me to have to clean up. I wouldn't mind if there was some way to add a track/album to a fix tags later

what surprises me is that no one has taken the open source SC server, and made it a plugin for something like winamp. i wouldn't have the foggiest idea about how to go about that, but it seems to me that an app like winamp could do all the user/os stuff, and the plugin would then handle the
