I have a Mac main server, but my HTPC machine is a windows7 machine. I can easily share my mac's music folder to my htpc but it is horribly organized compared to how it appears in my itunes music library. I've used plex a while back for sharing itunes library's and it was much more organized. So I was looking around and scoping out the different possibilites for sharing.
So far I've found:
Firefly
Connect360
Allegro Media Server
Twonkymedia Server
I'd like to be able to share Apple Lossless and AAC which rules out Twonky although it appears to have good upnp capabilities and a nice interface.
Has anyone had luck with Connect360? I've found some other posts but no successes stories. It would be great if that worked since I already own a license and have it running on my server.
Now I haven't done much testing on this, I just wanted to ask around and see how you might share a large organized itunes library from your mac to your xbmc. Before trying to reinvent the wheel.
