“Remote web access for your iTunes library”

by Elena Santos

 about

You have a great iTunes library at home that you would like to also use at work. Is there a way to do it without duplicating your entire MP3 collection? Yes! It's called pulpTunes and it enables you to access iTunes remotely via a web server.

pulpTunes is really easy to use. Simply launch it on your home computer – or the computer that hosts the iTunes library you want to use – and jot down the IP address given by the program Note that you'll need to open port 15000 in your firewall for the program to work; otherwise you will only be able to test it locally.

Once you do that, your iTunes library will be remotely accessible via any web browser. All you have to do is enter the IP address the program gave you and you'll gain access to a nice web interface from which you can browse your playlists, manage music playback and even download the MP3 file right to your computer.

pulpTunes grants access to anyone by default, but it also includes a user management tool that enables you to set a password and restrict access to selected users. There's also the possibility to create user groups with different privileges.

If you'd like to enjoy your iTunes library, no matter where you are, this is the program you need.

Notes:

After some initial feedback from users the developers discovered this release isn’t working when you have iTunes DJ disabled through iTunes preferences (it is enabled by default).

Recent changes in pulpTunes:

  • This only fixes an incompatibility issue with iTunes 9. Nothing more, nothing less.
  • @Have the iTunes DJ playlist start with randomly picked songs.
  • Search wasn’t returning songs from the same album that didn’t have a track number.
  • Better handling of problems with the iTunes music library XML file: shouldn’t fail silently anymore when file is missing or when it’s invalid.
  • When renaming a group, the users records weren’t being updated accordingly.
  • Under Windows and Java 6, the tray menu was being partially hidden behind the tray.
  • Under Internet Explorer, when a pop-up window was shown, the background was totally obscured instead of being grayed-out.
  • Some Ajax requests were being erroneously cached under Internet Explorer (e.g newly created users couldn’t be seen in the users management section).
