Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP)

DAAP is a protocol to share media in a network. It was first used in the program iTunes, but is widely used today.

Client

Amarok automatically shows the tracks from the server in the left pane and no further configuration is required.

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 the webinterface by opening the page http://localhost:3689/index.html . The default password is mt-daapd, the user field stays empty.
