I'm looking for a way to setup a server to share MP3 files secured by
a username/password.  ie I only want to let specific people have
access.

An FTP server is one solution but I am looking for server
software that is aware of the MP3 tag information - and provides
search/browse functionality by track name, artist, album etc.

Peer-to-peer software like napster, kazaa, shareaza, gnutella etc has
this kind of media awareness but does not allow private access to the
media collection.

It would most likely use a proprietary protocol specifically for media
files.  Does such software exist yet?

There is no answer at this time.

It's actually pretty easy to develop if it doesn't:) A simple script
linked to a database would be fine. However, you're not going to get
that code for $2.00.
