Dana, my wife, won a 6GB iPod Mini from a vendor in the trade show at The American Academy of Audiology (AAA) Conference last year. It’s still in the shrink wrap. Since she’s at AAA again, it seems that a year has slipped by without either of us making any use of it. This can’t go on!
We’ve got plenty of music — about 9000 tracks ripped to FLAC. It’s all on the house server and it is available to the MythTV front-ends, but I’ve never figured out a good way to make it available to Dana’s computer. yeah, I could export it via SAMBA, but that’s just annoying. So I’m looking into iTunes.
The house server is Gentoo Linux, so all it took was:
% emerge mt-daapd
Which makes me feel a little silly. Rhythmbox on my laptop now sees that system as an iTunes server, and when Dana gets home we’ll install iTunes on her Windows box and see what that does. Whee!
