Nice setup.

How does that work, you click the album and it brings up a list of songs? Or does it load a playlist with all the songs from that album?
I've been considering setting up a nice graphic-laden setup for my music, but I'll probably stick to directories with MP3 files, and I just open a file at a time (In windows... I don't think linux as a primary OS is a good idea at this point).

Nice music also

Can't say I like that particular song too well... AC/DC is mostly great though.

MadMan2k:
I'm sorry, but I definitely beg to differ. I've been using DSL as my primary OS for months now. I boot into windows maybe once a month to play GTA3, and that's only 'cause I don't feel like paying for Cadega. Linux has grown so much recently, and there are so many wonderful apps for it, that I have little reason to use anything else. It's fast, small, infinitely customizable and configurable, and, best of all, it doesn't crash on me. I've never been able to keep windows running for more than a few days without something crapping out. DSL is like the energizer bunny for me. I don't see myself switching back to windows ever. Just my 2 cents, but I'm sure many others concur.

I do indeed concur..

I have DSL running in my car, at the studio,
and many boxes, laptops, and servers here at home.

You said it best.. it just works.. every day..

NO MORE service packs !
NO MORE 200+MB downloads
NO MORE " you changed your mobo, please call a Microsoft representative"
NO MORE ad-aware, spybot, bit-defender, zone-alarm, symantec, ...
" now would you like to try to connect to the internet?"
NO MORE Registry cleaner, Tune-UP, Win-Safe, ...
NO MORE encrypted wma's, trialware, shareware, malware.
" your 30 days have expired, this program will shut down now"
( but you can keep the spybars, and the loggers as your free gift! )
NO MORE $$$$$ - I dumped both the "wind" and the "owes"

Maybe he was saying no "Linux as a desktop at this point" because he hasn't used linux enough to be able to do what he wants to do on it... not because linux (or DSL) isn't at the point that it can do what he wants.

I'm sorta in the same situation. Working on it, but haven't quite got to the point where I'm comfortable enough or proficient enough to swap full time.

Ooops, sorry for the double post...

I was also going to ask about the setup. Right now I have a web page set up so that when I click I get an m3u of the album. Also I can click the name of the album, which brings me to a list of the songs, and I can click on the songs and get the lyrics. Thats all hand coded.... but with the "Subdirectories" below yours, it looks like yours might be done on the fly so to speak.

Yes? No? If it is, can I ask what to go looking at to do that? php? xml?

Thanks

Grab the edna.dsl extension.
That's what this is I'm using here..
It generates your pages for you.. using an editable template..

Aaargh!

Why does windows make me work so hard when linux makes it so easy?
