[Cialug] Syncing music, mythtv, itunes, rhythmbox

[Tom Pohl]

I use mt-daapd to service up an iTunes library that is SMB mounted. It can parse the iTunes' xml library file and even serve up the playlists you create in iTunes. 

Don't know if that helps, but it is a nifty feature :)

I have also played with scripts that synchronize playlists to removable media by exporting them but if the same file is in multiple playlists then it would be exported twice.

The one thing is I'd like to have my music somewhere on my laptop for listening unplugged as well as on my network in case of tragedy and to listen to in the family room.
