"AMPLE" is an MP3 lending software that facilitates sharing and borrowing of MP3 files among individuals.
The AMPLE software, A MP3 LEnder, is a game changer for those who need to listen to their own MP3 files outside of their home. The software was written by someone who was tired of having to FTP all their files over to the computer at work just to listen to them. When looking for other MP3 servers, they found that they were too complicated and had features for "DJ:ing" that weren't necessary.
What sets AMPLE apart is that it is small, standalone, and portable. It was written in C using no external libraries, making it easy to compile on SourceForge compile farms. AMPLE allows you to listen to your MP3 files away from home, without any extra features or complications.
This release includes two fixes, one for compilation on Solaris and the other for a security issue. The buffer used for local communication lacked sufficient checks, so the worst-case scenario is that a large amount of memory will be allocated. However, user data is protected from this issue. The socket was also bound to the loopback device, making it locally abuseable.
Overall, AMPLE is a great solution for those who need a simple and straightforward way to listen to their MP3 files away from home. With its small size and standalone design, AMPLE is a valuable addition to any music lover's collection.
