Over at MacSwitchersGuide.com the forums have an option to put your iTunes address in your profile and the link for it is right next to the E-Mail and Private Message buttons above your every post. It's really neat.
I'm assuming by the outpouring of responses to my earlier request that people are conecting to my iTunes, looking around and saying, "Good God! This guy has horrid taste in music. Who the hell is Doo Rag? I don't even want to know if it streams or not." Well, sucks to your assmar.
Yes people, a quick reminder. The following (ranges of) IP addresses are NOT valid outside your home/business (because they belong to a local network):
10.0.0.0 -> 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 -> 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 -> 192.168.255.255
If you think your IP address is in one of these ranges, fear not, you'll be able to see your REAL IP address here.
I have 3405 songs in total, with pretty much every type of music you can think of except for classical. Focused mainly on non-mainstream groups, with lots of hip hop, electronic/acid jazz, trance, techno, and alt. rock. Also some blues/jazz, reggae, scratch, country, industrial/metal, and world music. Mostly recent, some oldies scattered around. It's organized by song name, artist, genre, and rating only; everything else is spotty at best but I've been very meticulous with those 4 tags. I was quite proud of my collection until I saw some of the others on here, I'll be listening to these ones for a while.
edit: I'm having trouble connecting to anybody's libraries. I'm on a T1 at the college, not sure why there would be a problem. They probly have some sort of defense set up to keep this kinda thing from happening, oh well.
I know a couple of you managed to connect to my itunes library (silence.dnsalias.com pw:ai), if any of you are out there, please let me know how the experience was... was it horrible with tons of rebuffering? Probably better to pm me so as not to clutter up the thread, but that's up to you.
If it's worthwhile, I'll be more inclined to leave it up, but if it's a terrible experience I may as well not bother. Thanks in advance.
This is one of the coolest features I have seen in the four short months since switching...my IP is 24.168.0.207 (it should be pretty static, as I haven't turned my router off yet this year) for anyone that is interested. Computer is usually up between 7pm and 1am EST (weeknights at least). Have about 4gb of DJ sets (mainly house and techno) and another 6gb or so of other stuff ranging from dub to Japanese noisecore...something for everyone...
This thread really should be a sticky, maybe even a permanent part of the AppleInsider website. Maybe some sort of list with people's names and general library info that want to be a part of it. Don't know how non-static IP's would be handled though, someone more familiar with these things wanna chime in?

How do you make the IP address clickable?
Open the Script Editor, paste it in and save it where the rest of your iChatStatus scripts reside
I've updated it to actually check if your iTunes sharing is on, rather than just if itunes is on.
set myAFP to do shell script "ps auxc | grep AppleFileServer | awk '{print $6}'"
if myAFP is not "" then
set myAFP to " AFP:
else
set myAFP to ""
end if
set myiTunesShare to do shell script "lsof | grep :3689 | awk '{print $1}'"
if myiTunesShare is not "" then
set myiTunesShare to " iTunes Sharing:
else
set myiTunesShare to ""
end if
set myIP to do shell script "ifconfig | grep 'broadcast' | awk '{print $6}'"
tell application "System Events"
return "IP: " & myIP & myAFP & myiTunesShare
end tell

your iTunes Library
but that looks like a generic address to me...
press the reply button for this post to see how to make it clickable...
10.0.0.0 -> 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 -> 172.31.255.255

I did forward port 3689 so that other people can connect to my library, so I want to be able to do the same thing the other way around.
Do anyone know the port range that iTunes uses for library sharing? I think it's somewhere in the 20000's.

I'll second that - great selection from hotboxd...
