Or you could do streaming by transcoding the music on the fly like zina
(another php music player) does. http://www.pancake.org/zina.html. It
also has custom and session playlists. Have a look at it so the wheel
doesn't have to be re-invented again... :-)
Just copy the files in a webfolder and create a symlink to your music
folder and you are set.

I remember the mfd developer once saying that streaming over the
internet with mfd/daap protocol would never be implemented (read
implemented as: save enough).
