DAAP server for OS X or Debian?
in [Debian]
|
From: Dr. Jennifer Nussbaum on 8 Mar 2010 15:40 Hi, I use iTunes on a Mac to host my very large music library. I want to share this music over DAAP to my Debian box (dont really care what client i use, Rhythmbox or Banshee or Songbird is all fine), but the iTunes version encrypts it so you cant use it with non-iTunes clients. Is there a current, supported DAAP server that runs on OS X, or alternately, if i decided to switch to host my music on Debian (which i dont want to do mainly because i have a bunch of useful utilities on the Mac that dont exist on Linux), is there a recommended one for Linux? Ive looked at some of the projects, but they confuse me because there are a lot and some of them are no longer supported, or use plugins that are no longer supported, etc. So if there's a "main" one that everyone likes, I will be happy to use that.

Clients running Rhythmbox, Amarok2 (Amarok from kde3 had issues with mt-daapd), or Songbird with a plugin have no trouble playing the files on my lan/wlan. I had the occasional Mac clients (ITunes) and they were able to use the mt-daapd share too, even Winamp on Windows. I read a while ago that it's possible to run the server on Mac OSX through Fink or Macport, but since I have no interest in it I didn't investigate any further, your favourite search engine should tell you more (maybe there's a native Mac version now). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Firefly is apparently no longer under active development, theres a linux-only fork of it though. So i dont feel comfortable going with something that is been abandoned.
