Machete is a collection of php, perl, and Applescripts that allow you to enjoy your music anywhere there is a web browser. It provides a pretty front end with basic search and play functions for your music collection. And no, you don't have to know what any of this is to enjoy it, that's the beauty!
The website is hosted right off your machine using the power of Mac OS X and Apache. If you have a complex Apache setup and you don't want the auto-installer monkeying with it, I suggest you install manually, skipping things where needed. If you're a regular user and you don't know what this Apache thing is that I keep going on about, don't worry. The installer is for you.
What's New:
Several bugs fixed in the PHP (text encoding issues, link issues)
Installer was throwing out the real Apache config backups if it was run twice. This has been fixed.
Japanese localization of the installer. I'm working on localizing the pages themselves.
Added a customizable splash page to cut down on needless CPU load for people with large collections.
Installer source is now included. Applescript jockeys will enjoy it. It's crazy.
Numerous other changes (I put sheets in the installer!).
Requirements:
iTunes organizing your music.
