Why?
I agree. daap'ing your own music is dumb. I tried it a few months ago. It's dumb because the music is not in your library so you can't do any fun stuff like ratings and smart playlists.
Run NFS on the Linux machine and use the iTunes Library Manager script to switch between your Network-library when at home and your laptop's library when traveling. I come home, hit Cmd-K and double click my Mp3 share. Good to go. I even use mDNS on the Linux machine so I can use a Rendezvous name for the NFS share. With Panther I don't have to necessarily worry about unmounting the share. When I'm out of my home, it times out and lets you autodisconnect the dead share after 30 seconds or whatever.
Why?
Unfortunately my wife's iBook had some problems reading files over a wireless Samba connection without glitching (I realize NFS is supposed to be better, but I have to serve to windows machines too and it looks like I'm having a hard time getting NFS going anyway). |
