Hi everyone

I'm looking at putting all of my music files onto my Plan 9 box and
having it serve them to whatever computer I happen to be using at the
time. Now, when I'm here at home, I use Linux, but elsewhere I could
be using Windows, Mac OS, Solaris, or Linux. It seems that if I was
*only* using Plan 9 terminals, I'd just be able to do 'import
/lib/music' (which is where I'm putting the files, just to have
somewhere standard) and use a local player. However, plan9port's
'import' command seems to work differently, and I don't always have
access to Plan 9 or a box with plan9port. I suppose it is also
feasible to just have it http-accessable, but that's not as convenient
as I'd like.
Are any of you doing something similar--that is, using Plan 9 to serve
up media to your other computers? I'd like some pointers or even
something like, "No, nothing does what you want right now, go write
it" :-)

Thanks


John Floren
