In doing some additional research, im rapidly getting the idea that i may be behind the development curve on this a bit.
I installed the package — mt-daapd from portage for gentoo (my server is a gentoo server) and it works, but the web interface is different than that which i have seen in other posts and does not contain controls that i have seen referenced in other posts.
Im currently running version 0.2.4 (according to the web interface)
If i need to update etc, please let me know – i know this to be the latest available in portage, but i can (if its stable) update to another version — the biggest thing im looking for are the ability to create playlists and the ability to update my iPod
thanks
TIM
