Play that

Use VLC as a better mpd alternative. The server will play YOUR music. Be hype, use Rasperry Pi as a server.

On the target :

vlc -I http --http-host=0.0.0.0

You have to hack VLC hosts file : /usr/share/vlc/lua/http/.hosts

Beware, VLC http interface is just broken on Mac, and Ubuntu can't play sound without X11 application, vlc-nox is unusable out of the box.

On the client :

node lib/playthat.js --vlc 192.168.1.2 --music /path/to/some/mp3

Anybody can fight and suggest its own music. One server plugged to a loudspeaker, many clients.

playthat build a small http server used by distant VLC, first network card is used.
