<p>Gee someone is actually interested in this?</p>
<p>phpMUR stands for php Multi-User-Randomizer</p>
<p>This is a project I've been working on for several years.  This incarnation uses a combination of technology.</p>
<p>phpMUR is copywrite 2007 by Eugene R. Miller a.k.a. <a href="http://music.the-erm.com/">the-erm</a> under the <a href="liscence.txt">GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2</a> you can download a copy for yourself <a href="http://the-erm.com/phpMUR/phpMUR.zip">phpMUR.zip</a></p>
<p>I <b>do not</b> recommend this on a production/shared server.  This system is designed for <i>personal use.</i> The main goal of this project is to allow <i>you</i> access to <i>your</i> music anywhere in the world.  Not to allow the world access to your music.</p>
<ul>
	<li>
		<h3><a href="http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_Media_Player">JW Media Player 3.8</a></h3>
		This thing is just awesome.
	</li>
	<li>
		<h3><a href="http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/">FFmpeg</a></h3>
		This program converts all .ogg/wma/mpg/avi/wav files to .mp3 or .flv.  So they are compatible with JW Media Player.  <?php
			if (is_admin()) {
				?> <b>You'll need to install this yourself.  If you add files that are .ogg/wma/mpg/avi/wav etc that need to be converted.</b> <?php
			} ?>
	</li>
	<li>
		<h3><a href="http://www.xajaxproject.org/">Xajax</a></h3>
		Handles all the ajax calls.
	</li>
	<li>
		<h3><a href="http://getid3.sourceforge.net/">getID3</a></h3>
		When scanning files, this grabs the id3 or eqivalant tags from the files.
		It's important to note phpMUR will only <b>read</b> file tags.
		I'm not 100% confident with getID3's ablility to write tags.
		A few years back it would freeze during parsing, and stop outout of the script.  For saftey's sake I don't use it to write files.

<h3>How often is same song picked?</h3>
<p>Right now the SONG_THRESHOLD is <?php echo SONG_THRESHOLD; ?> songs.  This is the <b>maximum</b> amount of songs you want to to play before it is picked again.  This number is not taken into account when you cue songs via the search page.</p>
<p>However there is a failsafe in place.  If the library doesn't have <?php echo SONG_THRESHOLD; ?> songs, or you don't have <?php echo SONG_THRESHOLD; ?> songs total for the number of genres you've chosen to pick from.</p>
<?php
	if (is_admin()) {
		?><p>
			You can set the SONG_THRESHOLD by editing <b>config.inc.php.</b> and adding the line:<br />
			<?php echo highlight("define('SONG_THRESHOLD', 1000);"); ?>
		</p><?php
	}
?>
<p>
	<b>If there are copies of the same song you may hear it more often.</b>
</p>
<?php
	if (isset($_SESSION['preload'])) {
		/*
		?><p>
			The last time the preload was built <?php echo  $_SESSION['preload']['songs_to_remove']; ?> songs were removed.
		</p><?php */
	}
?>
<h3>How often is the same artist picked?</h3>
<p>
	You should not hear the same artist within <?php echo ARTIST_THRESHOLD; ?> songs.
</p>
<p>
	Again there are failsafes so this rule may be broken.
</p>
<?php

	if (is_admin()) {
		?><p>
			You can set the ARTIST_THRESHOLD by editing <b>config.inc.php.</b> and adding the line:<br />
			<?php echo highlight("define('ARTIST_THRESHOLD', 50);"); ?>
		</p><?php
	}
?>
<?php
	if (is_admin()) {
		//
