I guess what I need to do could be done pretty easily done with just html and cgi, but I dont want to have to add all the songs into pages the first time around.
Do you know CGI? And, no, I don't think so easy.

It seems you want a 'user' to open an html page that offers up whatever music you want to offer. Choose by style, search for artist, maybe song title? This may seem easy in concept, but you need to 'make it happen'.

Simply set up apache as web server, mySQL as DB server, configure apache to run php.

Now the fun stuff.

Set up mySQL DB to store relevant info on your mp3 collection. Or better yet store the mp3s. Non-trivial, but not that hard.

Get PHP to connect to mySQL DB, to access given info. But you gotsa write the HTML and PHP.

Why don't you set up network and let users browse your mp3s by directory?
