Re: What features shall be handled by SLiMP3 andwhat features shouldn't?

This is in the direction I would like to strive. Let the SLIMP3-
server handle things it's good on, but leave stuff that actually has 
nothing with musicplaying to third part software.

I think it would be much more efficient to take an existing web-
server and bundle it with the SLIMP3-package than continuing 
developing web-specific functionality within the SLIMP3server.

I would love to let tomcat serve the XML-pages that the backend 
slimp3 server delivers.
