So I've tried using the firefly solution, however, I ditched using it. Everytime I rebooted my computer it had to rescan my mp3's before it was available to use. I don't know if there is a firefly fix for that.
I ended up scanning in my mp3's and that works really well actually. I don't have playlist support, or album art yet.
Anyone know of a way to create an M3U playlist from itunes?
My solution is just to sync over my music weekly, and preferably my playlists weekly. Thanks.

Welcome to the forums.
You read the "itunes and XBMC" paragraph?

for those of use with later versions of itunes (8.01) running on our desktops is firefly still the best approach or is there a better way?
thank you -

I have Firefly Media Server running on my desktop/home server and it's working fine with my XBMC boxes. However, I want to set it up to stream music from my wife's laptop as well, but I can't get it to work. I think it's because she has a password set on the administrator account on the laptop.
I set up Firefly on her computer and am able to connect to it from iTunes on my desktop, but it prompts me for her password before I can get in. My XBMC boxes are unable to see or connect to the DAAP server on her computer at all.
I have tried the syntax:
daap:\\ip_address:3689 (this works for my desktop, which isn't password protected)
daap:\\username:password@ip_address:3689
Neither of these work. Note that I am able to connect to Samba shares on her computer using the username and password.
Am I S.O.L. in that daap doesn't support passwords? Or is there some way to do this that I have not thought of?
Thank you!
