Re-enable iTunes sharing outside local subnet

Is there a way to listen to iTunes-streamed music on a Windows machine?

Re-enable iTunes sharing outside local subnet
Authored by: joesiv00 on Jan 20, '04 12:36:21PM
I recently found this handy app that will accomplish the same task as "Network Beacon" and it works with Windows!

Rendezvous-Proxy is a Java applet that will run on Windows and Linux/*nix.

I first created a SSH tunnel for port 3689 between the work machine and the iTunes server. Then I ran and configured Rendezvous-Beacon so that it pointed to the local tunnel. (Follow the same instructions for Network Beacon.) Launched iTunes and my (password protected!) library showed up on my Windows work machine!

Also, if iTunes is not running at home, and you can ssh into that machine, you can launch it from the command line. (I think your user needs to be logged in, though, and be the "active" session. I'll need to test more to confirm...)

Good luck!
-Joe
