As I mentioned before, I am looking for a solution to store my music in a common location where it can be accessible all of my computers, where I can play it back on the Mac mini with in a TV interface, and where I can add music just by dropping the files to a folder, and they will automatically appear on all computers.
Then I got an email from MP3tunes mentioning that if you buy the Logitech Squeezebox you can get a one year subscription to the MP3tines Premium Locker for free. I mentioned before that I thought a Squeezebox would be a good solution, as I know that the SlimServer software will read music files from a shared network mount point. It looks like the SqueezeBox will play content directly from MP3tunes, so you don't need to leave a computer up.
One other cool thing about MP3tunes is that there is iTunes integration. With this, the tracks in your MP3tunes locker will appear in your iTunes as a shared iTunes Library.
So I decide to test how well this works. Unfortunately, I have not been able to sync any content to the MP3 locker. Both OboeSync2 and Oboe return sync errors when I try and upload content. I will try a little bit longer to get this to work
