Using a custom storage system with the SliMP3?

Hi all -

	On my system, I have a somewhat different MP3 storage system. Actual
MP3s are stored in the generic spaces-as-underscores format ("A Song"
becomes "A_Song.mp3"), but directories are always stored as 'f.'
followed by something, usually a number. ('f.0', 'f.1', etc). The actual
name of that directory is stored in a file named '.album' along with the
mp3s or subdirectories. Also, the names of MP3s are stored in
'.indexfile', so that I can see the files in whatever order they were on
the CD, not just alphabetically.

	I have a console-based browser (which calls mpg123) and PHP web-based
access for this, but how can I tie this in to my SliMP3? (Well, my
SliMP3 emulator, because I don't have a SliMP3). Both the browser and
the PHP script call a back-end, written in C, that outputs something
like this:

1 /home/jacob/mp3/A_Song.mp3 "A Song"
2 /home/jacob/mp3/Another_Song.mp3 "Another Song"
3 f.0/ "A Folder"

	(note that the mp3 names are absolute, the folder names are relative.) 
Here's an example tree:

-+ MP3s
 |
 +- .album
	(contains 'Root')
 +- .indexfile
	(contains 'A_Song.mp3' on line 1, 'Another_Song.mp3' on line 2)
 +- A_Song.mp3
 +- Another_Song.mp3
 |
 +-+ f.0
   |
   +- .album
	(Contains 'A Folder')
   +- .indexfile
	(contains 'Song_In_Folder.mp3')
   +- Song_In_Folder.mp3

	To the user, that looks like:

-+ Root
 |
 +- A Song
 +- Another Song
 |
 +-+ A Folder
   |
   + Song In Folder

	Any ideas on how I can tie all this into the SliMP3 server? Thanks!

- Jacob
