dryfterIs anyone using gShrooms?
It looks pretty neat - essentially, it allows you to auto-share your music, including with your instant-messenger contacts.
It'll also auto-detect other music sources on your network via standard means, so I *think* it might Just Work with the Apple gear that does that too. I'll install it later and see.
The guy doesn't look like he's updated it since 2005 though, so I'm not sure what the state of play is today.
Edit: See also mt-DAAPd and the recent versions of Rhythmbox that support DAAP. (Erm, and iTunes.)
I'm sharing my entire load of music at home via mt-DAAPd now; anyone on the VPN should be able to see it. (However, I can't at work, although I can reach the admin interface. Maybe something isn't right..)
