music

I wanted to set up Pitchfork tonight on my home server, which I've used before.

With dismay I discovered that the Pitchfork website is currently down (and probably has been for a very long time!), so I couldn't easily download it.

Fortunately a fellow named Luke McReynolds has generously hosted a tarred bzip of v0.5.5 on his server. You can download it from there.

I've also added it to http://www.mig5.net/pitchfork-0.5.5.tar.bz2 to aid the effort.

This morning our mp3 server at work ran out of disk space entirely, which caused mpd to stop (we run mpd, icecast with the Pitchfork frontend off a Debian server over our stereo system in the office. It's great except for the terrible music that often gets played).

After clearing some space (also known as deleting aforementioned terrible music), I was unable to start mpd simply with /etc/init.d/mpd start. The error I received was 'Error reading db, fgets'.
