Remote Music Player (RMP)

Description: RMP is a Remote Music Player that allows remote control over music playing on a Linux computer. The music can be controlled remotely with a web interface, cellphone, or through a command line shell interface.

Why RMP was created:
RMP was create because I was given a Brookstone Wireless Speaker that could be taken anywhere around the house and outside, but there was no way to control the music while I was outside listening. RMP provides a way from my smart cellphone device to control the music that was transimitted to the wireless speaker.
