Authored by: jantonc on Mar 29, '05 03:57:06PM

or go to http://www.slimdevices.com and get a copy fo SlimServer.
Point it at your iTunes music library and have a field day.
You can play your tunes in iTunes, RealPlayer, or whatever.

Another method of using iTunes via the internet
Authored by: nymike@spymac.co on Mar 30, '05 12:48:49AM

I tried your advice but can't get the remote to work. When using localhost:9000 it works, but when I try to work it from another machine(at work) I can't connect.

I:
Enabled port fporwarding on my DSL modem (port 9000)
registered a dyndns.org domain
confihured the OSX firewall to allow port 9000 traffic
when I use iTunes to connect *****.ath.cx:9000/stream.mp3
nothing happens
then I launch the web access and recconect to *****.ath.cx:9000
I can't connect thru safari

what do I have configured wrong or not at all? This seems easy enough..

step zero - start the SlimServer on the Mac that hosts music

on the client machine
step one - connect via iTunes to host:9000/stream.mp3
step two - with your browser connect to host:9000/

At this point the SlimServer should allow you to buiid playlists and start the player.

don't know if the firewall is being problematic or not.
iTunes will be silent on first connect, but it must be connected and "playing" for the SlimServer to let you set up playlists.

Yes you need to open Port 9000, but you also need to open another port. I'm on my laptop right now and can't recall 100% what the other port was. I found it at slimdevices.com FAQ section. It works great now that I opened that port. I think it was a UDP port as well. I hope this helps steer you in the right direction.
