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. + + A) Supported File-Types + + Ampache currently supports the following audio file types. If + you would like ampache to support an additional file type please + contact us on irc, or the forums and we will investigate adding + them.

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. + + +4.
