+# streams done right(tm)
+
+There are numerous ways to start streams ( make your computer or some server 
+output streamed audio). Currently implemented are:
+
+# Streams Modules
+1. pure streams  - will start mpd on your local machine
+2. mpdstreams    - will use a given mpd server to start a stream
+3. relaxxstreams - will contact the relaxxplayer (mpd front-end) if the direct 
+                   connection to the mpd is prohibited by firewall rules
+# Database
+Currently there are a number of possible streams saved in the database files
+which contain of a link, a space, and the name of the stream. the database 
+can be found in db/ .
+
+Currently there are two kinds of databases:
+1. streams.db - contains links to playlists of streams
+2. direct.db  - contains links directly to the stream, not the playlist
+
+to generate direct.db from a list of playlists use the helper/* scripts
+
+# initscripts
+
+the most convenient way to start streams is to use stream-starter which is 
+a script which, when symlinked with a name of a stream, invokes the streams
+tool with its own name as parameter.
+
+An example:
+
+    ln -s /krebs/god/streams/bin/stream-starter /etc/init.d/groove
+    /etc/init.d/groove start
+
+# Remarks
+deepmix,groovesalad and radiotux are now init.d scrips which can be
+started and stopped.
+
+scripts are dumped into /etc/init.d and groovesalad will be set as
+default via update-rc.d
