Streaming iTunes music remotely
From the MacWorld Editor's Notes blog:
Stream Your Home Music to Work... For Free
I have been impressed with Slim Devices' Squeezebox (4 mice, April 2004 issue) and its predecessor, the SLIMP3, for some time. But even if you don't have $249 to spend on an awesome network music player for your stereo cabinet, you can take advantage of Slim Devices' remarkably good server software to stream your home music library to your work. [Macworld Editors' Notes Weblog]
Way cool. I've wanted one of those SliMP3 or Squeezebox players, but they're a bit pricey. Being able to use the server side piece for remote streaming is an excellent compromise. The Slim Server can even reencode your music on the fly, so you can keep just your high quality version on your server (256kbps VBR MP3 or 192kbps AAC) but stream the music across the 'net to work at 128kbps.
