iTunes Sharing in Hotels

by DL Byron on March 15, 2006

I always look forward to the bonus music I’ll find in [iTunes](http://alogin.linksynergy.com/php-bin/affiliate/links/showmerchant.shtml?oid=78941&subid=&roid=&link_type=3&showcode=Y&is_special=&pid=10000066&nid=1) at a hotel. Today, Craig offered a diverse collection including [Funkmaster Flex](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=4c2Gw5onEF8&offerid=78941&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewArtist%253Fid%253D130882%2526s%253D143441%2526partnerId%253D30″), [Prince](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=4c2Gw5onEF8&offerid=78941&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewArtist%253Fid%253D155814%2526s%253D143441%2526partnerId%253D30), and [Etta James](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=4c2Gw5onEF8&offerid=78941&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewArtist%253Fid%253D10811%2526s%253D143441%2526partnerId%253D30). iTunes allows users to [share music](http://www.apple.com/itunes/share/) (but not copy) over your local network with zero configuration using Apple’s Bonjour technology. It works on both the MAC and PC and all you do is click the “Share my music” checkbox in the Sharing panel of the iTunes Preferences dialog.

I’ll never meet Craig, but I do know he’s got good taste in music.

How do you mean “music you find at hotels in iTunes”?

When I connect to a hotel network and open iTunes, I’ll see everyone else that’s sharing their music and they’ll see mine. It’s a beautiful thing.
