Remote Music Player (RMP)

Description: RMP is a Remote Music Player that allows remote control over music playing on a Linux computer. The music can be controlled remotely with a web interface, cellphone, or through a command line shell interface.

Why RMP was created:
RMP was create because I was given a Brookstone Wireless Speaker that could be taken anywhere around the house and outside, but there was no way to control the music while I was outside listening. RMP provides a way from my smart cellphone device to control the music that was transimitted to the wireless speaker. This could also be installed on a wireless Raspberry PI with a speaker attached..

Features
* Randomize a playlist so EVERY song is played once and never repeated! (I hate that no player does this)
* Supports m3u playlists.
* Display playlists, Artists, Title, Genre of playing song.
* Download remote music to a cellphone or local computer.
* Tell time after defined number of songs played.
* Play commercials, promos, or fun audio clips after defined number of songs played.
* Control volume remotely
* Search/play specific tunes throughout all the playlists
* Select next song anytime (without commercials ... lol)
* multiple ways to control (web / command line)
* Easy to set up

Supported Systems: Linux (Ubuntu).
