Appearance
Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP)
DAAP is a protocol to share media over a network. It was first used for the iTunes music player, but is widely used today.
Client
Amarok automatically shows the tracks from the server in the Media Sources -> Local Music pane and no further configuration is required. If the collection is not showing up, click the
icon to be sure you are not in Merged View.Server
On Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu you can install a DAAP server using
sudo apt-get install mt-daapd
This will install the Firefly DAAP server. You can configure it using its web interface by opening the page
http://localhost:3689/index.html
. The default password is mt-daapd; the user field stays empty.
