ACM@UIUC

ACM@UIUC, the Association for Computing Machinery at the University of Illinois (http://www.acm.uiuc.edu), is the organization that develops the Acoustics Media Player. Acoustics runs over 10 hours on most days during the school year, is used by dozens of people every week, and holds an impressive collection of music that currently numbers over 33000 in mp3, flac, ogg, and m4a formats.

Our setup:

Webserver: Apache 2.2.x on Debian Linux 5.0 (lenny) using FastCGI with Perl 5.10
Player: mplayer on Debian Linux 5.0 (lenny) with Perl 5.10. Tagreader is statically linked against a locally compiled taglib 1.6.x (though we used to use 1.5.x).
Database: MySQL 5.0.x on Solaris 10 SPARC, which will move to Linux soon.
RPC: remctl using Kerberos
Authentication: Kerberos (mod_auth_kerb, handled by Apache)

We previously used Tunez (http://tunez.sourceforge.net) and were less than happy with it (hence this project).
