Linux, iTunes and AirTunes
This is a cry for help, not a HOWTO. Here's what I want to do:
- My Windows PC runs iTunes with my library on it
- My Powerbook can connect to the shared library and play music from it
- I want my media box (running Linux) next to the TV to act as like an "Airport Express" so I can use it as a "remote speaker" from the Powerbook
I can find plenty of references to hosting a shared iTunes library on Linux (eg. daapd), or even software that can talk to a shared iTunes library (eg. Rhythmbox), but seemingly nothing that will let Linux pretend to be an Airport Express.
Yes there are things I could do like run rhythmbox on the linux box and remote control it from the Powerbook, but I don't want to do that. I want my Powerbook to be the source, streaming the music to the media box which is acting as a remote speaker.
If I work it out, I'll write it up!
