So a few months back I upgraded the server. I put in a massive amount of disc space for what we (or I) needed.

I had my reasons, honest.

So last night while doing laundry I decided to setup mt-daadp on the server. I configured it to search /media for files. I did a ‘chmod -R +ogw /media’ to set everyone to have permissions — then I fired up samba and shared /media to a few select users in the house.

After that, I mounted the MEDIA share off the server over samba with my ibook, and dumped over 6GB of music into it. mt-daapd was running like a champ, and now I’ve got my full iTunes library shared to any computer in the house.

The next task is to get my old 7600 (w/ G3 upgrade) to run OS X 10.2, plug a bluetooth adapter into it, install salling clicker, and put all it’s parts into a custom case that’ll fit by a stereo. Then I can run it headless and have an older (but still perfectly functional) version of iTunes act as a remote-controllable airport express.

With both me and the woman having bluetooth phones, I figure this should be an interesting solution. :-)

I’d really love to replace the 7600 with a mini sometime in the future. :-)
