Make sure iTunes mounts a networked music library
I used to do something like this but wanted a better solution. My problems came into play when OS X had difficulty mounting the drive. In my case it was because the host IP address changed or one of the routers between me and the music was having issues. I'd get the spinning lollypop of death for a very long time until my Mac realized it wasn't going to mount the shared volume. Apple's timeout is very long and locks up your Mac.

The whole sleep/wake disconnect thing bugs me too. Otherwise, everything would be hunky-dory.

@dan if you have a changing IP of the computer holding the files, it's obviously a problem. A solution could be using the name instead of the IP, if somebody between you and the target can translate that (a DNS server, or through netbios). Regarding the sleep/awake issue, I solved that too (more or less) using another cool hint. There's a tool you can download that executes a script whenever your mac goes to sleep or wakes up. Search for sleepwatcher. |
