[vox] web-based cdplayer / mp3 jukebox for linux

[dylan]

Thanks for the responses...

i looked over the slimp page, but that is not quite what i was looking
for.... i don't really need to stream music, rather- i need to play it off
the machine itself...

worst case, i can just write my own front end to the cd playing tools, and
what not.

thanks!
