So – for the time being Subsonic appears to be the way to go. And to get it to organize the way I want it to, I figured out that in iTunes, setting the ‘Album Artist’ field places items into folders with that name. So, setting it to a composers name (for instance) will place all works labeled that way in a folder, then a folder inside that will have the albums name. I got through the composers tonight… tomorrow I will label other genres in the ways I want categorized. But streaming today (even with a couple people streaming at a time) worked like a charm!

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010I spent most of my time tonight ripping more Bach cantatas, and looking for replacements for SimplifyMedia. I think I have found something promising called Subsonic:

So far – it does a good job of transcoding the Apple Lossless down to a 256k mp3 stream, and thanks to Chris, I know a couple of us can listen to different things at the same time. Still some organizational issues (it uses the folders iTunes creates – not playlists) that I need to work out… but there is hope again for remote access!!!
