Have you looked into VideoLan?  [ http://www.videolan.org/ ]

 From their website:

   It is a free cross-platform media player
   It supports a large number of multimedia formats, without the need
for additional codecs
   It can also be used as a streaming server, with extended features
(video on demand, on the fly transcoding, ...)

I'm a complete yutz wrt multimedia and Linux but VideoLan has given my
desktop life.  Just for the heckuvit I've run multiple instances so I
could listen to songs "in the round".

It runs very nicely on a 1G 512 white box.

Highly recommended.



My preferred network applications for mp3:

ampache
mpd/phpMp
icecast/ices0

They can also brodcast to the outside world, if you wish (to your work, e.g.).

And pulseaudio definitely works in a local network.

But ampache is "hors concours". It is far just the best of all.
