Split a large iTunes library
Authored by: Nem on Oct 31, '06 08:33:23AM
I haven't tested to see if it works with purchased music, but if you have a lot of MP3 or M4A files, you can use the mt-daapd server to handle your iTunes music.

The configuration is fairly simple (including the ability to password protect and create smart playlists) and it will follow sym-links, so you can spread your music around to various hard drives, placing sym-links to those spots in a single directory and configure mt-daapd for that directory.

I now store all of my music on my file server (running Solaris x86) with mt-daapd and I can access my music from any of my Windows or Mac machines.
