Get Started

Tagging music
  • For M.O.M to be able to structure your music it needs to be tagged. M.O.M will read the following tags from your files:
    Artist (groups on Albumartist if any)
    Genre
    Album
    Cover art
    Release year
    Track number
    Track name

    Personally I use Tag and Rename for editing my tracks but there are a lot of alternatives out there.
Requirements
  • Server side (Windows)
    • Windows machine running IIS 5+
    • .NET Framework 2.0
  • Server side (Mono)
    • Linux, OSX or Windows machine running Mono 1.9 Preview 4+ and either Mono's Xsp or Apache as webserver.
  • Client side
Installation (Windows)
  1. Either download the web setup and run it to install the project on IIS or download the zip and install it manually.
  2. Unless you are running IIS 7 you have to add these mime types for Silverlight to work.
    .xap - application/x-silverlight-app
    .xaml - application/xaml+xml
  3. Once this is done you need to assign modifiying rights for the proper account to these folders/files:
    /web.config
    /DB/File
    /DB/Cache
    You also need to assign reading access for the account to the folder(s) containing your music-files.
  4. Start up FF or IE and browse to http://localhost/myvirtualdirifany/setup.aspx
  5. You can now remove the modifying rights to web.config if you wish. You should also deny access to DB/File for anonymous users either by removing reading rights for the IUSR account or remove anonymous access in IIS for this folder.
  6. Start playing.
Troubleshooting
I have my music on a different computer than my webserver.
Under IIS6 this can be solved by first creating a new application pool and assigning a user to that pool that has rights on the computer with the music, and then assigning that application pool to the MOM site in IIS. This isn't completely uncomplicated unfortunately, and If can't solve this, try checking the forum.
