iTunes Sharing
November 11th, 2003
For some reason, the sharing feature of iTunes slipped my attention. Since I now use my PowerBook as my primary machine, I also keep my mp3 files on it–since I am without an iPod. :( The only bad thing is that my PowerBook just has a single headphone jack, so I can’t get the full listening pleasure of my 4-speaker system that is connected to my Windows desktop. Now I’ve installed iTunes 4.1 on my Windows desktop and enabled sharing in iTunes on my Mac so I can stream my music over the network to play on the good speakers.
Apparently in iTunes 4.0 you could stream music outside your subnet so you could listen to your music remotely. Apple disabled that in 4.0.1, but there are ways around that.
