Basics
------

Ampache is a web based audio/video streaming application and file
manager allowing you to access your music & videos from anywhere,
using almost any internet enabled device.

Ampache's usefulness is heavily dependent on being able to extract
correct metadata from embedded tags in your files and/or the filename.
Ampache is not a media organiser; it is meant to be a tool which
presents an already organised collection in a useful way. It assumes
that you know best how to manage your files and are capable of
choosing a suitable method for doing so.
