You should have checked out Netjuke... I sent you a URL a while back. It does
exactly what you need... written in PHP, though, with an SQL backend.

I use mp3 instead of ogg here, mainly because the Kenwood in my car won't play
oggs... Here's a few features:

-Random playlist generation, can be genre-filtered.
-Searching by artist, title, year, album, length, track#, # of listens, and
more
-Community page with a top-10 list, shared playlists, etc.
-Re-encoding on the fly... Mine's currently set for 64-80k VBR mono streaming.
My upstream connection here at the house is good for about 3 streams, and the
P2/400 running the thing can handle that fine.
-Archive creation for easy downloads of multiple tracks

....That's all I can think of off the top of my head currently.
