Well... The server has an ipchains firewall, that is _within_ my
control... Other than that, the server and the client are on the same lan.
What port do I need to open up? Does it need something greater than just
the port 8000?

It streams the songs fine... I just can't get the ID3 info...

OK... I suppose as long as I'm patching things anyway, I may as well give
that a shot as well... I guess I need more info on the tokens then... I'll
look at the mysql version, and see what it does, I guess...

Well, the _music_ is... Just xmms is not giving me the song information...

When you say select op, do you mean http://cablemodem:8000/?op=select
? That's compiled in... I modified that to print the artist album and
title, so I believe it's compiled in... The ID3 info _is_ being parsed...
I just don't see it on XMMS...

Any ideas? Is that normal? (Like I said, I can hear the music. XMMS simply
doesn't give me the id3 info is all)

Thanks!
