What if I wanted to keep another archive of music in addition? On this note then, I wanted to create a music system that could be used in place of a standard local program. This way, I can have one copy of my music across the network, and use it everywhere else. @@ -32,8 +32,8 @@ Good question. Besides just wanting to learn Django, there are some good reasons * Music archiving isn't very good. I haven't found software that I can use to manage the archive. * Making one library available to multiple network locations is problematic. You can use something like IceCast with XMMS2, but that lets only one person control the song choice. I needed something a decent bit more flexible. -* Managing multiple archives is problematic.
