I’m pretty new to this so please forgive me my ignorance 🙂
I’m reading that Firefly is compatible with iTunes, so doesn’t that mean that I can use it as a client to connect to my Firefly server?
If so: how? I can’t seem to find it. I’m using iTunes for Windows.@Franc wrote:

Think of firefly as an “itunes Server”.
When firefly is running, your itunes running on windows can see firefly as a shared library.
I’ve turned on the search for shared…
Then what? Do I force some kind of update?@Franc wrote:

Then what? Do I force some kind of update?That’s in your iTunes preferences. On the client. In the “sharing” tab, there is a checkbox called “Look for shared libraries”. Check that box, and that should be it.

You need to run firefly on a different machine to your itunes for it to be seen.

Running iTunes on a client.
