IIS, Win32 Apache, Zeus
Authored by: lullabud on Mar 29, '05 12:57:30PM

You don't necessarily need mp3 sushi to do this, you just need your iTunes Music folder shared via http. This is easily accomplished by installing IIS, Win32 Apache or Zeus. Configure your web server to share up your iTunes Music folder and do the search/replace just like in this thread's original instructions.

That said, I still think it's more reasonable to just share your iTunes Music folder via Netbios or AFP, mount the share as a drive and configure iTunes to look in that location for music. That will keep your play statistics, it doesn't require any changing of the library, and it's easy to change back. I haven't tried it over the internet using Netbios though, so I'm not sure if the speed of the internet would create a problem. It may, though, since http will use the iTunes buffer and a locally mounted disk might not.

Of course! I have not Apache that only allows local connections on the Windows box, and use a ssh-tunnel to that box from my iBook and voiala, the music takes zero space on the iBook, and I don't send around music in "clear-tones" (compare clear-text).
