Acoustics Media Player

The Social Media Player.

Acoustics is a web-based music indexer and jukebox that supports operation on multiple machines, with multiple players. It supports all major audio formats through the use of an Mplayer backend and provides clients with a rich JSON API for controlling players and viewing the song database.
