I like the "flag counter" in your right-hand panel. How did you integrate that?

I also like that you've got an African collection. Sending you a PM about that...

i want to share but in conjunction with another list...
not just heres a user name and pass but more like connecting the two servers and let my users just link into their system and vise versa

so i can keep a secure user list and the other can as well and we can close off the entire connection with one click of a check box

once cleard by my server the user is automaticly approved on theirs via the servers sharing account...bla bla bla
call it a tunnel if needed... oooohhh or worm hole...lol
i got a need for sharing current playing song as well.... as i play on one system, others can listen to my stream like a radio...
if i change up the song im on it changes on their player as well
this is a good one come on guys ...please

just a few ideas i had to drop involving sharing

I think the term you are looking for is Federation. Something like this could be done, I would think, if you had an infrastructure such as LDAP on both sides integrated into SubSonic, Site-to-Site VPN between the two locations hosting the SubSonic servers, and LDAP Federation between the two LDAP infrastructures. A lot of work for most, but if it's something you are really want to do, I think it could be done this way.

lol I understand what your talking about but have no idea where to start to set something like that setup...
would be great if there was a "connection in the server" as to do all this without having to be a network specialist to do so...lol

like I said I understand what your talking about as I am a network tech...but this is just a bit outside my realm

Hello

I just set up Subsonic and I'm loving it!
Tried many different programs/system for maintaining and streaming my music. This looks like a winner.

Sadly, most of my collection is MP3s (at 320), but I have started to replace it all with flac.
I keep adding/replacing albums each day.

So I would like to maybe exchange accounts with someone who also only wants lossless.

Anyone out there with a lossless collection want to trade?

I have a 70Mbit download and 10Mbit upload connection.

A group of people could rent a dedicated server, split the cost and build a monster Subsonic server that sits on a very fast internet connection.

Just need to know what sort of CPU/RAM/Storage requirements and off you go.

For example:

Entry Level: Kimsufi "mKS 2G" - Atom CPU/2GB RAM/500GB HDD/100mbps for $15/month

Mid Level: Kimsufi "KS R-8G" - i3 CPU/8GB RAM/2TB HDD/1000mbps for $36/month

Split the Mid Level one between 10 users and it's $4/month per user. Not exactly going to break the bank now is it?

A group of real life friends could share a server maybe.

But a group of strangers ?

I wouldnt want to be the one that have to make sure everyone pays....

Different tagging habits?
I want FLAC only...others maybe want MP3s?

Just a few problems from the top of my head....

I went ahead and voted no. If you were to combine everyone who has posted their stats in this thread it's not even close to what I have. Doesn't mean I'm against sharing, but if there is something that I want I already have it, and if I don't I always get it.

ya what he said...
the only thing I would like to share is between two servers and keep our own user list and just allow another server to port in

well, this 2tb would hold about 1/4 of my collection without other users involved

[lbvagrant]

ya what would a 3 terabyte cost per month?
if I could just list the music on a computer across town as well as my list id be happy
