Title: Sharing over LAN
Post by: GOTR on September 28, 2010, 06:23:06 am

Is there a way for MC 15 to share it's library/files with people using iTunes on our network at work?  Most of the computers are Mac with iTunes, but I'm a PC with MC15 and would like to share my collection.

Any ways?

Thanks!

Not directly, but you can install and use FireFly Media Server (http://www.fireflymediaserver.org/) and point it at your media files.  It will serve any files it finds via the DAAPD system.  FYI: iTunes 10.0 broke compatibility with FireFly and many other DAAPD servers, but Apple released 10.1 this weekend which fixes that support.

FireFly will auto-rescan the media files on a regular basis so it will find and pick up any tagging changes you implement with MC.
