| iTunes 10 not working with FireFly Media server
Since we started the VortexBox project we have been using the FireFly Media server to serve music to iTunes. iTunes 10 does not work with FireFly so anybody who upgrades to 10 will loose iTunes conductivity with their VortexBox. We are working on a promising replacement that is in BETA now. If you have iTunes 10 please help test our new DAAP server. |
