Ah, in that case you will need to setup a Samba share on the Ubuntu box where you will put all of the iTunes files. Once that is setup and working you have a couple of options. You can: A) Store your music on the Ubuntu box and not use iTunes integration in SlimServer. B) Store all of the iTunes files (xml + itl files) and music on the Ubuntu box and force iTunes to work from there. Doing this would allow iTunes integration with SlimServer. In scenario A only your music resides on the Ubuntu box and the xml and itl files that iTunes uses stays on the XP box. You would setup SlimServer to treat it like a non-iTunes library. To do this go to iTunes Preferences and then advanced and specify the music location. Scenario B stores none of the iTunes data on the XP box. I found a thread on it here: http://forums.ilounge.com/archive/index.php/t-190339.html Hope that helps. -- 4mula1 SlimServer 6.5.4 + Solaris 10 x86: Because Linux would've been too easy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4mula1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3439 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42255 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
