I also got really interested in this and brought it up with Colin in #rhythmbox about a month ago. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be to get the stuff going, but I'll give you a brief summary of what I learned... iTunes uses DAAP over Rendezvous to do its music streaming stuff. Check out OpenDAAP.org and check out the sites linked off it. DAAP was supposedly going to be made open by Apple, but I think they got spooked by the RIAA and decided not to release the spec. Additionally, after iTunes 4.1 (Or somewhere around there) the spec was changed around a bit and most of the open-sourced implementations were broken (in the same way that iTunes 4.0.x was broken with respect to iTunes 4.1). Examples include JTunes, iLeech, and iSlurp. I've spoken with Chris Boot, head of libdaap (daap.sf.net), about re-compliance and he said he would be interested in starting stuff up again. Rendezvous wouldn't be hard to put into RB at all with the right amount of effort. It's open and there are working Rendezvous implementations for linux for you to look at. Best of luck. This would definitely be a -very- kickass feature for RB. Get the protocol working and I'll gladly help out with this concept. -Eli On Sun, 2003-12-07 at 15:12, Hess Mike wrote: > Is there any work being done to make Rhythmbox > compatible with iTunes library streaming?
