Enable iTunes4 sharing through a firewall
Authored by: w0nt0n on Apr 29, '03 02:48:09PM

Its not stealing because iTune's only streams your music, like
Shoutcast, so you dont actually download the song but stream it.

Although thats not to say you cannot rip it. There is a program
called Audio Hijack that, as the name suggests, hijacks any
audio signal sent out to your computers speakers or line out.

The thing I would like to see next for iTunes 4, hint hint to any
third party developers, is a system where by I could launch a
small app to announce my ip address and a small genre
description of the music I want to stream. This could be done in
the form of a tracker system similar to Hotline or KDX. Basically
this would allow us to publish ourselves on a public iTunes
network. This would allow others to easily find and browse my
music collection without having to be personally invited first.
