A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Anyone have any experience setting up an mp3 jukebox for a website? I want to make a bunch of songs available on a website for streaming only (i.e. not downloadable). It would be nice to have a little web-based app in which users could pick specific songs to hear, or just play them all on shuffle. I found this one app called Wimpy, which looks really nice, but it's $30. I'll spend the money if I think it's worth it, but maybe there's something free out there? I'd prefer not to have to program in Flash, as I've never done that before.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

We do not have blackboard (Elementary class). I would like it to be public.

I'm investigating wordpress.

Hey. New board.

Wordpress is definitely aimed at single blogs, much like MoveableType. It's very easy to use, though: see my blog at [link] . Setting up a blog where you are the only one with right to "publish" would be very easy, if you want to share one big blog, but working out individual bogs would be tougher.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think one big blog (preferably with multiple user identities). I should find out if I can be hosted with our school webpage.

Hey. New board.

You should be able to get a free blog from Wordpress.com that can be made to work as a big blog with multiple UIDs, without your school hosting.

Yeah? I got a blog from them, but I think my brain died. I'll have to go back and look at it.

Hey. New board.

You just add the student users as "Contributers" and they can write posts but not publish them.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Ah! Yes! Just a user account, without a blog! It's been a long day.

Compassionately intolerant

Cool. Haven't tripped the techfantastic in about 500 posts, and I come in on a blog discussion! Excellent timing as I'm about to set up my own.

And speaking of setting things up. I'm ashamed to say that I began asking questions here about upgrading my eMac nearly 2 years ago...and I'm just now doing it. "Time flys..." is a cliche for a reason...

Pushing past the shame, I have two last, and probably super stupid questions.

1) I want to add as much memory as I can, and the specs say I can expand to 1G. There are only two slots available, but I can replace the current 128 with two 512s or a 512 and a 256, right?

2) If I do replace the existing stick, will I need to offload all my files first? I'm assuming the files are stored on the hard drive, but I don't know if changing the memory effects them. When I called "Geeks on Call" to find out about having someone else do the upgrade, the chick sort of scared me with how dangerous a process it is.

eta: Okay, 3 questions: Any thoughts on the best brand for memory? I need dimms 133s and on smalldog, I see Kingston, Crucial, PNY...

All is well that ends in pizza.

Right

If I do replace the existing stick, will I need to offload all my files first?

no.

the best brand for memory? I need dimms 133s and on smalldog, I see Kingston, Crucial, PNY

All three have their proponents. You can just take the ram Small Dog lists for an eMac under 1 Ghz [link] if you want it to just work, and be covered by warrantee as long as you own your computer.
