[wellylug] Re : music server running mpd

[Rob Collins]

Ta,

Might try setting up both MPD and front end (ampache with amarok2 client 
possibly) on the same pc first just to get the hang of it then introduce 
networking after that via bluetooth dongles from my new acer laptop to 
by ancient mothballed laptop.  Have you had any experience with 
bluetooth networking?  I was under the impression it is all point to 
point, ie not requiring a router.  Was looking at these on Trademe:

I run ubuntu/kubuntu which I think already has bluez modules etc 
installed and running by default.
