Earphoria: Share mp3s via iTunes
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
February 13th 2003
Here's a very sexy way to extend the number of songs available for listening
Blackhole Media quietly released its latest beta epiphany, Earphoria, on Feb 2nd. This
application is designed to allow multiple networked Macs to share their respective mp3
collections seamlessly using Apple's open-sourced-based Rendezvous technology.
"Earphoria works great at parties or in an office where you have a separate Mac
playing music and would like to flip to the next song without getting out of your
chair," enthuses Blackhole's spin.
Using Rendezvous, which detects the services and functions of other Rendezvous-aware
devices on a network, multiple Macs on a LAN can "automagically" share mp3-encoded
music using iTunes. Obvious applications for this capability are home and office
networks where a user can access music from their own collection away from their desk.
Naturally, the extension of this is that other users can access your music, and visa
versa, from anywhere on a discreet network.
Earphoria can be downloaded here.
Editor's note: Needless to say, I will be trying this application out tomorrow at my
day job.
This is just the sort application for which Rendezvous and iTunes were designed for.
This is radio of, by and for the "rest of us." Assuming it works (hey, you folks in
America are at work now, right?) this app is brilliant.
