Media Server Distro

So, I've found a lot of Media center Distros out there, but I still haven't found what I need I have a relatively old box sitting here (1GHZ 512 RAM) and I'm wanting to put all my music on it. I want to be able to control it remotely (preferably with a web control panel) That way I don't have to keep unplugging and plugging my speaker system into whatever computer I'm playing music on at the moment. VLC has something like this, and worse comes to worse, I'll end up just using some random distro and VLC. I'd like to have more options though, considering VLC has (IMHO) a very messy web panel with no organization whatsoever.
