When iTunes requests a song, the client connects to the other system and sends it.

I would have preferred some sort of DAAP tunneling, then I'd only get the files I have iTunes set to share, with the non-ID3 stored data, instead of my entire 20,000 file library.

Still, neat concept.

We have posted a new build on our website that does not include the Buy Music popup. New users will not see this window, and current users can reinstall if they prefer.

The point of the Amazon links was to enable people to buy songs they discover. However, it was meant to be a convenience, not an annoyance. We hope to provide an option to do this in the future that is much less obtrusive and not a popup.

Once mac hears about this they're going to get money hungry and just try to control it.
Im guessing that the music is going to be streamed over the net.

I haven't had it working since iTunes 7 came out, which has sucked. I'll give this a try, although if their application works there must be a better hack out there so skip the ads.

I doubt there is a 30 user limit and the creator of the network can boot anybody they want. Yes, you can develop an iTunes God complex.

So I could listen to all their stuff as if it was on my machine.

Not seen it since, but quite a good idea...

Anyways looks like a great way to stream my iTunes library.

If anyone has any questions or comments, feel free to contact us at support at simplify media or email me directly at paul at simplify media. This is a brand new beta and we would like your input to make it better. Obviously, we need to work on the "user-repulsing" buy music link.

Our intent is to offer this as a free application, not just free while in beta. We want to make it convenient for you to purchase new music you discover. And, we try to minimize the annoyance by letting you hide the window and having it stay hidden for you entire listening session.

Wow. I don't think I've ever read that phrase before on a tech blog. What Linux user would want to use this?

First we don't get iPhone support, and now we won't be able to stream our iTunes libraries between the two of us!

I guess that means it doesn't run on Unix, OS400 or mainframes? No way I'm getting that crap then!

One, why would every image be enlarged or reduced? Seems like most screen caps would be shown actual size.
Two...it so so you understand that part of the image is enlarged relative to the other part...otherwise the image could be confusing.

What is this, a box of Nestle cookies? Isn't EVERY image on Gizmodo either enlarged or reduced to scale to the screen?
