Is there ometimes you just want to browse and listen to your album collection at the office without having to load it all into a portable music player? Streaming music from within a home network is easy with iTunes and Windows Media Player; what’s trickier is getting access to your 100GB music library while away from home. So how to do it?Let's teach you how to turn your library into an Internet radio station with Apache server software and a little-known program called netjukebox. There are totally six steps:
1. Set up an Apache Server.The first thing you need to do is turn your desktop into an Apache web server. This will let you run the netjukebox software and serve web content. Installing an Apache server can be a complicated process, so we recommend using XAMPP, a web server package, to streamline the setup. This package includes Apache HTTP, MySQL, PHP, and even FTP server support. Download the latest version of XAMPP for Windows (1.7 as of this writing) and run the installer.
Choose the default install location (C:\xampp is recommended, especially for Vista) and choose your desired shortcut icons on the Install screen. You’re also given an option to install Apache as a service, as opposed to an application, which allows it to start even before you’re logged in to Windows. After XAMPP finishes installing, launch its Control Panel. Click the Start button next to Apache and MySQL to enable the web server. The other options let you run a FileZilla FTP server and a Mercury email server, which we won’t be using here. If Apache and MySQL are activated properly, you’ll see their status as “Running,” highlighted by a green bar. Minimize this Control Panel to the system tray.
2. Install netjukebox.Head to the official netjukebox website and find you way to the downloads section. Download the netjukebox for PHP zip package —the current version is 5.10b—as well as the codec pack linked below it. Navigate to the “htdocs” subfolder of your XAMPP install direcotry and extract the contents of the netjukebox zip file into a folder called “netjukebox.”
Open a web browser and type “http://localhost/netjukebox/” into the address bar. If you extracted the files correctly, you should see a light-blue login page.netjukebox will indicate to you that your default administrator login and password are admin and admin, respectively. Create a new folder called “codecs” within the netjukebox folder, then unzip the 14 files in the previously downloaded codec zip file into this new folder.
3. Configure Your Security.Access the XAMPP settings page by directing your web browser to go through to the main XAMPP page.
Click the Security link in the menu on the left side of the page. If you are using Vista, you may encounter an error page that reads: "Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested object. It it either read-protected or not readable by the server." To get around this,go to your "C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra" folder and open httpd-xampp.conf in Notepad. Find the two lines that read "Allow from localhost" and replace them with "Allow from 127.0.0.1". Next, go to your XAMPP control panel and STOP Apache before restarting it again. Flush your browser's cache and try accessing the security page again.
4. Configure netjukebox. Navigate to the “include” subfolder under netjukebox (C:\xampp\htdocs\netjukebox\include) and open the config.inc.php file with Notepad (drag the file into the Notepad app). You’ll have to edit a few lines in this configuration file to direct netjukebox to your music library and set up an administrator password. Search for the line that begins with $cfg[‘media_dir’]. You’ll see that the default location where netjukebox searches for your music collection is D:\Media. Replace that with the location of your music files. We directed netjukebox to C:/Music/. Note that you must use forward slashes AND a trailing slash in this field.
5. Import Your Music. Using your web browser, go to your netjukebox administrator page. Enter “admin” as both the default username and password. Click the admin username on the left and change the password. The admin account lets you create new user accounts, as well as restrict what users can do on your netjukebox. You'll have to relog back in after you do this.
Go to the main netjukebox configuration panel by clicking the config tab at the top of the page. If this is your first time using netjukebox, click the Update link under the Configuration window. Netjukebox will scour your music library and index all your albums. This may take a while, depending on how many songs you have in your collection and the speed of your system.
6. Broadcast Your Jukebox. To remotely stream or download your music, find your IP with a service. From any web browser, type in your IP and add the /netjukebox/ extension. If you’re not behind any firewalls, you’ll get access to the netjukebox login page and be able to browse through all of your music files!
You can also set up a dynamic DNS to access your music server without memorizing your IP. To do so, create an account. Authenticate the account via email and log into the dyndns website. Click the "Services" tab and go to "Dynamic DNS" option. Follow through the "Get Started" link to continue.
With this simple steps, you’ll be able to browse your collection via a gallery of album cover art, stream custom playlists, and even download entire albums as zip files. For more information, you can go to papatek(http://www.feevoo.com).
