Ampache is a PHP-based interface to a MySQL database
21
where information about your audio files are stored. The songs
22
are streamed using PHP; older versions required mod_mp3 but this
23
version no longer does. The songs are cataloged via PHP
26
These tools are heavily dependent on quality tags in your audio
27
files and or the file system organization. If you've kept them
28
up-to-date or organized this is the tool for you.

3a. Upgrading Your Ampache Install
132
If you are upgrading from an older version of Ampache we recommend
133
moving the old directory out of the way, extracting the new copy in
134
its place and then copying the old config file. All database updates
135
will be handled by the /update.php script. There is no need to insert
136
the /sql/ampache.sql if you have an existing installation.
