I started to do this hint, but before going in and changing every line that has

<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Users/trailblazer/Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/A%20Tribe%20Called%20Quest/Unknown%20Album/Baby%20Phife's%20return.mp3</string>

to
<key>Location</key><string>http://blah.sytes.net:8080/A%20Tribe%20Called%20Quest/Unknown%20Album/Baby%20Phife's%20return.mp3</string>

I wanted to make sure I was doing it right. I went on to my roommates pc (I'm on a mac) and imported the xml file. I see the few songs that I've changed that line on, but they won't play. Hmm I just imported it on my other mac and it does the same thing. It must be me not editing the xml file right.

Any suggestions?

Oh and up towards the top of the xml document I changed it to

<key>Music Folder</key><string>http://blah.sytes.net:8080/</string>

The few songs I've changed that line on show up on the pc and the other mac on my lan, but they won't play. :(

I notice that you specified port 8080. By default this is the port MP3 Sushi uses for radio. The port you want to specify is the one MP3 Sushi uses for jukebox, which by default is 8888. Is it possible you are running MP3 Sushi's radio server and not the jukebox? If so, change the port in the xml file and enable the jukebox server in MP3 Sushi.

If all your music is in the ~/Music/iTunes Music directory, ensure that you've set the MP3 Sushi port to 8888 as noted above. Do a global search and replace in the exported XML file changing "file://localhost" to "http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8888" and import as noted above. Do not change the rest of the file path in the XML file.

If your music is spread over several volumes, change the Jukebox music folder location (MP3 Sushi Preferences) to "/". This works great with iTunes but you'll have to navigate if using the browser interface.

Well I changed the normal port 80 for web in osx to 8080 because my isp won't let me use 80. But I thought this tip was not for using with mp3sushi, but just itunes alone. Using itunes on another computer importing the xml file? I've used mp3 sushi before with no problems, but I thought this tip was for just using itunes and a xml file.
