I want to do my first project in NodeJs. Basically I want to perform a music server on one side and a client to play music stored on the server. The whole will run only in a local private network.

I have only beginner skills as I just read one book about nodeJs, so I know how to initiate a site with Express, use a mongoDB database with mongoose and some other things.

My issue is that I don't know how to begin my project. As I see the things :

• my server will host the music files (mp3 and flac). In a first time this will done through real files, nothing will be stored in any database
• in a first time my clients will have to be able to list those files and play them.

But in a first time I'm just not able to find a library to play music files, it's just a mess as there are so many of them that I don't know what to choose.

So if you can help me to choose one and architecture my project, this would be a great help. thanks.
