Ampache, for those who don’t know, is a personal streaming music service. It lets you play your MP3s anywhere there’s an internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don’t need anything special to play music via Ampache, just a web browser. But certain music applications integrate full Ampache support, which means you can browse all your MP3s from within the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Linux, I use Rhythmbox to play music. There’s an Ampache client for it, but it’s not as easy to install as it should be with newer versions of Rhythmbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s what worked for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now hit “Update.”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
svn checkout http:\/\/rhythmbox-ampache.googlecode.com\/svn\/branches\/for_rhythmbox-gtk+3\/ rhythmbox-ampache-read-only<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Copy the files.
\ncd rhythmbox-ampache-read-only\/
mkdir ~\/.local\/share\/rhythmbox\/plugins\/ampache
mv * ~\/.local\/share\/rhythmbox\/plugins\/ampache<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Run the installer.
\ncd ~\/.local\/share\/rhythmbox\/plugins\/ampache
sudo python setup.py install<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Now open Rhythmbox.\n
\n
- Go to Edit -> Plugins<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Check the box next to “Ampache Library”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- With Ampache Library selected, click “Preferences”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Enter your server info here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Now close the dialog and double-click Ampache in the Rhythmbox sidebar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
It may take some time to sync with your server, but once it does you should be good to go. Personally I find this plugin to work a lot better than the Amache plugins for Amarok and Banshee, but your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
