Re: [Banshee-List] {OT} DAAP vs. NFS

["Luke Hoersten" <luke hoersten gmail com>]

I think snorp said that there was a simple example that he shipped
with his daap-sharp or one of the other packages he has written in C#
that can be used on an X-less machine. You may have to beef it up a
bit but I think in C# that would not be a problem.

Check the source code of daap-sharp for a simple client:
