This is a prog that enables u to dload music from other people’s comps via iTunes. But instead of using Kazaa u can use iTunes. This only works if people have iTunes sharing enabled.

PS It also works only on networks, not the internet

Like Unbeliever said, this only works on local networks.  So if you have four people in your house you can see each other’s music and listen to it, and now with this program you can download it.

A practical application?  Well, for me, it was the dorm last year.  About 50 kids shared their mixes, and with the original MyTunes, my library almost doubled by the end of the year.  It was fantastic.

We used it in our college halls of residence too, it was fantastic.

b0rk3d:  I was just trying to suggest that people who used OS X and wanted myTunes-like functionality could look into ourTunes.

I suppose running everything in a Java VM is going to make the program really slow, but I think it’s a more reasonable option than installing VirtualPC or Wine or something just to run myTunes.

I’ll definitely be trying out both programs when school starts again in a few weeks.

FYI - though this is compiled for Win XP, it worked on my Win 2000 machine just fine. It immediately found my coworker’s shared library and I was able to download dozens of songs without a hitch. Well-done on the app!

Gettunes does the same thing on a Mac.

What this does is it allows you to download music onto your computer from other computers on your local network which are running iTunes.  The practical (legal) application for this is copying music off on one computer in your house to another when you want to hear a particular song and wish to locally have it.  The other practical (illegal) application is inside a collage dorm.  Unless they switch and reroute every port, there can be some serious filesharing that just looks like good old iTunes streaming.

Till someone figures out a way for this to be on the internet instead of just a local network, its pretty much useless to most people, inclusing me :(

It’s perfect for using at work, when loads of co-workers have iTunes and sharing enabled

if you installed the mytunes and it doesn’t show up everyone on the network, you might try turning off your firewall if you have one.  i did that and it would load everyone into the mytunes program and then i would just go back and turn on my firewall again. this solved my problem fyi

this is great! my roommate and i didn’t even know about the sharing feature on itunes. we were just sitting around with our laptops and my music showed up in her itunes. we were super excited until we realized that we could only listen not download. then i found this program and now we’re set.

is there any evidence this method of filesharing is traceable?

my roomate and I have mytunes on our computer but neither one of us are logged on to it so we cant get eachothers music.
