I am building a site for a friend that will showcase his mp3 collection (over 100) He wants visitors to be able to stream one (or even a play all button). He wants 5 different categories for the songs, but he wants to be able to update the categories as follows: upload new songs, and reorganize the lists by (date, song name, artist, etc). I am thinking flash is a good option to avoid dealing with (real player, quicktime, wmv, etc issues). Can I do this with just PHP/mySQL or is PHP/mySQL/XML/Flash an option?
