I thought the main point of the exercise was to learn web
programming? I read the initial request as saying that you
specifically wanted it to run in a web browser.

If not, there are lots of other possible approaches. I find
python-gtk a nice solution for quick GUI apps, but there are lots of
choices of languages and toolkits.  You could use NFS to make the
music available to all machines on the network, or you could use rcp
or ftp or ssh or other protocols to copy files from the server as
needed.

One thing about Linux is that there are generally lots of different
ways to do anything you want to do. As the perl people like to say,
"There's more than one way to do it". :-)
