+1. Intro:
+
+  Ampache is a PHP-based interface to a MySQL database 
+  where information about your audio files are stored.  The songs 
+  are streamed using PHP; older versions required mod_mp3 but this
+  version no longer does.  The songs are cataloged via PHP
+  scripts.
+
+  These tools are heavily dependent on quality tags in your audio
+  files and or the file system organization. If you've kept them 
+  up-to-date or organized this is the tool for you.  
+  
+  See CHANGELOG for version information.
+

+3. Setting Up
+
+  Ampache:
+    If you're upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1 you will not be able to re-use
+    your database or config.php files.  You will need to follow the entire 
+    Ampache install guidelines oultined in the INSTALL file.  
+
+
+3a. Upgrading Your Ampache Install
+
+  If you are upgrading from an older version of Ampache we recommend
+  moving the old directory out of the way, extracting the new copy in 
+  its place and then re-creating the config file. All database updates
+  will be handled by the /update.php script. There is no need to insert
+  the /sql/ampache.sql if you have an existing installation.
+
