John,
Would it be possible to a copy of your PHP/MySQL hack.
I was at the conference, and was wondering how it was done.
Thanks,

Hi Rob,
You'll want to update to the latest version of DSS in order to fix the
ID3 problem.
If you want to dynamically change the playlist, you should create a new
playlist file, and use the same name as your .playlist file, only with
a .replacelist extension. You should make sure that your playlist type
is Sequential or Sequential Looped; I don't think the .replacelist
functionality currently works with weighted random playlists.
I have a PHP/mySQL solution that was demoed at QuickTime Live last year
that does exactly what you want. I've never tested it on other
platforms, and you'll need to figure out how to populate the DB with
ID3 tags (since the existing instructions are for importing from iTunes
using FileMaker Pro -- yes, it's a hack) but it may be a significant
start. Email me directly if you want a copy.
Hope this info helps.
