I finally got my winamp player's shoutcast server configured correctly so I could play my music collection throughout the house on multiple stereo systems.

I found a pretty cool plugin for winamp that will let me controll the player, that is hooked up to my local shoutcast server, through xml. The playlist feature doesn't work as well as I'd like. It will let me add files, but it won't let me delete any.

Does anyone know of some plugins for winamp to give me the full features of the program? Or maybe another program to let me do the something similar? I could use my remote administrator program but the machine that I'm connecting to has a really high screen resolution and it's a PIA using it. Besides those remote programs are pretty CPU intensivve.

I downloaded another openscource program called Jukeboxdaddy, but I haven't played with it yet.

It's actually "Jukedaddy".
I found a link to it off this tech-tv article (http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/answerstips/story/0,24330,3370328,00.html)

Try Media Jukebox (http://www.musicex.com/mediajukebox/). This is what I use to play my tunes. It has a nice feature called Media Server which will stream your music, be it .mp3 or .ape. Once media server is running, I can connect to it from any machine on the network with Media Jukebox and access the music as if I were local.
