Gator Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 (edited) http://www.012484.com/ A guy from MaccNN is starting a simple site for people to share their URL to their iTunes' library. Not too many people there now but I'm sure it will grow. It's cool browsing other people's music taste.....or bad taste. :D *You can turn sharing on in iTunes through the Preferences and then you can right click on your library and click "Copy Sharing URL" to get your url. Also if you are behind a firewall, iTunes uses port 3689, so open that up and you should be fine Edited April 30, 2003 by GatorZx2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2003 An idea I got today. Only, I'm going farther and trying to get the actual shared files and upload them to a server for searches :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowpie Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Well as long as you make sure that only 2 other computers download each song, then you re-buy it...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 i'm gussing there is no way too grab a song from their playlist? Nope, would kinda defeat the whole purpose of the music service. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diata Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 no...and the songs skip around because the information relay is slow...not as cool as i thought at first, but im guessing there will be improvements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCe| Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 it actually works nice for me it feels like its on my mac :) daap://24.45.52.160 nice connection listing to the fugees :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 no...and the songs skip around because the information relay is slow...not as cool as i thought at first, but im guessing there will be improvements It all depends on the connection and the bandwith of the host. I've had several that were instant and clear like they were on my machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxikk Veteran Posted April 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2003 wish we could make it a p2p app tho instead of just streaming... :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 wish we could make it a p2p app tho instead of just streaming... :shifty: as more information on the protocol is discovered I'm planning on making a "syncing" application that will take music from my ibook, imac, and powerbook and make sure all libraries have the same tunes on each device. Rip on one machine: play it on any on my network. Connecting to the server is fine when I'm at home, but as soon as I move out of wifi range I loose a sizeable portion of music. I'm not so sure I want to enable internet syncing though: i don't need it, and I don't really want to help others pirate music. I'm not familar enough with the iTunes API to build a pluggin so stand alone application it is (for now). /me heads back to developer.apple.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
