Turn iTunes into a Music Server using pulpTunes
Have you ever wanted to turn your iTunes library into a
music server that you could play and download your music from any computer
anywhere? There is a quick and easy solution to accomplish this that will have
you up and running in no time.
I stumbled across a program called pulpTunes that runs on
your computer and creates a web server for your music. You have to forward the
15000 port through your router to make it work but after that is done you can
visit your iTunes library from any web browse anywhere in the world.
You can create logins and restrict access to the general
public so everyone can’t access your music. You can make groups and put users
into those groups so you can assign permissions to the users as you see fit.
This is a great way to share your music with your family or
listen to your music at a friend’s house. I have a work computer and when I’m
at work instead of transferring all my music I just listen to it from my
computer using pulpTunes.
PulpTunes works on Mac, PC, and Linux. So no matter what you
are running pulpTunes has you covered. It took me about 5 minutes and I had
this program up and running. It is super easy to install and setup.
