Hi all, any pointers to designs for DIY network attached audio servers / clients? The idea is to have my music everywhere in my appartment, and be able to control it from everywhere (including from my PC). TIA

If you have a server (or have an old clunker you can use as one), and can run Apache, then Apache::MP3 will work for you. See my radio fivetrees system for an example:
It's also what I use at home. In brief, point it to a directory structure holding the MP3s (one folder per artist, one subfolder per album), and it sorts itself out from there (assuming the MP3 ID tags are set correctly - note that some on radio fivetrees are not [MP3s from a client's site]).

I run icecast and ices (shoutcast compatible); very lightweight and robust. For a Win32 client I suggest 'winamp 2.9.1 full' (free on the 'Net); for *nix I suggest 'mplayer'.
Also if you just want to browse and stream audio files from a web browser, configure any web server which supports MIME types to handle what you want, for example: audio/x-scpls for ".pls" playlists, audio/x-mpeg for ".mp3" files, etc. and just GET files by name from a web browser.
