Here's me: 24.125.32.89. Over 7 days' worth of 192 Kbps mp3s.
I've discovered that I can't share the AAC tracks I bought yesterday. I didn't think that would be the case...
I just connected to you and I can see your "Purchased Music" playlist, but it tells me I'm not one of your three authorized computers. Interesting. I didn't think that would be the case either. It's streaming, not copying, so I thought that would be OK.
When Steve's son and nephew came in to his demo yesterday, either they were the three authorized machines, or he wasn't using Music Store purchased music.

That's my first big gripe about the service. I bought those AAC tracks just like I own the rest of my iTunes library. To share the AAC tracks I bought, I'll have to re-rip them as .mp3s or go buy the albums in a music store and rip them into .mp3s from source recordings that are much higher quality. It's weird that I can't even stream these far-below-original-quality recordings to other users of the same music service I use. What about new Mac users who have no iTunes libraries to begin with? People who don't own any CDs (maybe that's far-fetched these days) and don't have anything in their iTunes library until they buy tracks from Apple?
Anyone that's connected to my iTunes library-how's the connection? Is the network stalling a lot? Just asking 'cos there's four people connected right now and I was wondering how my connection was handeling the load.
time to bust out the CD collection and rip the rest of them. sharing music makes it fun again. i'll have to get port forwarding set up on the NAT and make sure the wireless isn't screwing it up at all.
got 14GB of full albums i own, but that's probably not even half of the entire collection.
just got lazy ripping 'em after a while. now that i have two laptops i'll use 'em in tandem.
however, during the day (9:00 - 4:30 central time) you can access what i've got up now at 160.94.81.23
Does it automatically just let the right number of people access? I've never had more than 5 people accessing mine, but it seemed like way more people were messaging me last night about it.
I got a message from DogCow's server last night that it wasn't accepting any more people... an auto thing to keep the existing people sharing with sufficient bandwidth?
I will put mine up once I re-organize/add music to my iTunes playlist. I'm afraid most of you won't really like my music...although I do have a lot of different stuff.
I don't know how long this IP will last, but can someone try mine? (I'm not sure what exactly I needed to do, I set port forwarding on my Linksys router so port 3689 forwards to my iBooks local IP, is that right?) I'm just curious to see how this stuff works.
68.101.82.167 is the IP. I don't know if it'll stream all that well, seeing as I'm using Airport, but have a go at it anyway.

Well, it's not streaming too great. But at least it works.
edit: am I the only one who likes to have whole albums encoded? It seems that way...
I'm on cable (DHCP) so we'll see how long my IP lasts:
67.84.155.166
Most will hate what I have to offer anyway, enjoy what you can.
PS: thanks, torifile. Yours works fine here in NJ. I (now) encode most of my albums except for songs that I know I'll never like. I still have to go back and fill in for some of my CDs.

A ton of music, all different kinds, nearly all full albums and all my music.

edit: nevermind. try tomorrow, i'm taking off. :P
I guess it's working.

Anyone else want to share?

WOW is right. It would be nice if I could download your music by dragging the track to my Desktop, but I assume we could just use Audio Hijack?
this is how iCommune worked, no?
