Hi Phi,

Canola1 had upnp and daap (itunes shares) support. But there's one catch. Until today, I don't think that the open source library was "updated" (actually hacked) to work with itunes7.x therefore it would be useless for itunes sharing (but it is very handy for those with tangerine and others daap linux servers)

So, the protocol is closed (there's a key) that we don't know and we will not do reverse engineering on that because we are a small company with a big company name on the middle and this would be a major problem. But if the community manage to make it work we can add the support on the future (that's why we are releasing the third party plugin support, so people can enable more and more services )

UPNP is also problematic at this stage but it's improving. From the planned features is the only one missing, and there's some good solutions for the mac, like twonky and connect360 if I'm not mistaken. (but they are paid)

Anyhow, if you find something about any linux app working with itunes 7 sharing we would like to have it working in the future also.

Cheers,

Marcelo
