I've got 15 gigs of MPCs on my computer at home. I would like to listen to them at work without using 15 gigs of a harddrive that I do no own. Has anyone ever done anything like this? Thanks.

I don't think there's any system for streaming MPCs yet, but if you don't mind some on-the-fly transcoding (it's streaming net audio, what do you want?), then you could always take a look at oddsock.org and icecast2 (which do ogg). From that point, just use Winamp2 or, if the new oddsock version works, Foobar, with the right setup and get streaming oggs of your MPC playlist. It's not exactly audiophile, but for work, it works for me.

Check out http://netjuke.sourceforge.net . It requires that you run a webserver with PHP support plus a database (either MySQL or Postgres). If you are scared about setting up all of the servers, check out http://www.foxserv.net for a Windows program that installs all of these servers through one executable. If you need help getting things up and running, I'd be glad to help you.

I am currently running a Netjuke server with 9000 tracks, 7500 of which are MPC. I love the program. The only problem is that all your files need to be properly tagged to avoid headaches when you import everything. Even though Netjuke doesn't support MPC by default (that should change in the next release), it is just a matter of adding "mpc" to the search list in one config file, so don't get scared when you don't see anything about mpc on Netjuke's website.

Hmm... I'm already running a webserver with MySQL.

Thanks for the info, guys.

I took a look at a whole bunch of streaming solutions, trying to see wich one handled MPC the best.
Netjuke is as far as I can tell the only one that actually has any kind of support for it.

Of course ost of them can probably send them as straight HTTP downloads but netjuke has support for reading tags from MPC-files using GetID3.

What seems to not work very well so far is the ReplayGain.
When streaming the files they sometimes get read with ReplayGain info and all the other tag info but sometimes not.
While the other tag info is not so vital during playback, losing the ReplayGain is extremely annoying...
This is not MPC-specific though, since I get the same effect with MP3-files.
I have not figured out why (yet).
This is using foobar2000 version 0.8 (special installer with everything).

If anyone has found any better solutions for streaming MPC-files, please let me know, otherwise this one seems to be the best bet...
