Firefly

Do you have a Linux box w/all your music on it?

Do you have a Macbook?

Would you like to play the songs on your Linux box from iTunes?

Firefly is the code name for the iTunes compatible file-sharing service also known as mt-daapd

Installation

To install on Ubuntu, use

  1. sudo apt-get install mt-daapd
  2. sudo vi /etc/mt-daapd.conf
  3. find the section with mp3_dir and set it to the directory where all your songs are located.
    • e.x. mp3_dir = /home/nate/your/mom/music
  4. Save mt-daapd.conf
  5. sudo /etc/init.d/mt-daapd restart
  6. On your laptop, iTunez should locate your server automagically (it did for me)
