MPD WebAMP is an asynchronous web client for Music Player Daemon in the style of a desktop application, such as Totem or Windows Media Player. It's target is both a modern desktop/laptop as well as lower powered web devices, primarily the Pepper Pad 2. It offers:

Browsing of music library by folder structure. Playlist manipulation, saving and loading. Playback controls, volume, seek and live status display. Album art and lyrics for currently playing song. Search: Quick search by file name or search by tags. Themes: supports theming with custom css files Sessions: Resume from where you left off. Completely Asynchronous interface.

Credits: CSS list item styles for songs taken from NeoMPC, a very nice MPD web client made for PDAs.

Built upon the TurboGears framework, utilizing python for the web server and HTML/CSS/JavaScript/JSON for the page itself (no plug-ins required for clients). Python and TurboGears are required to run the web server.

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IE 6! This is project requires a browser with proper css support. Firefox is the recomended browser, although any standards compliant browser should work as well.
