Media server updates

Media server is going well. I have been able to now upload my music into it now, and have been constantly updating its software. Jinzora didn't work too well (took too long to load anything,) and after some quick google searching, I found another app I could use: ampache. Nice part about this is that it was in portage, and after an update of a few other packages it installed well. I'm really impressed with the fact that even though ampache depends on mysql it runs very smoothly on a Pentium II with 128MB RAM. After setting up the database I was able to add all my music and movies in no time.

Curious are you using Ampache 3.4.x or 3.5.x?

Would be interesting to know if there is a noticeable performance difference moving to 3.5 once its stable as there have been a lot of mysql optimizations.
