Hi there,

Thanks for the link! I will have a look at it shortly. Now that there seems to be a Mac version of Firefly, do I have to go through all the installation instructions that involve the Terminal, as shown in the help Wiki here?

I’m still tempted to get a Bubba so I’m not totally sure about installing this on my G4 yet. It’d be great to have some low-power server which ran all my media-type stuff.

I have a list of questions I need to get off my chest:

  1. How exactly does Firefly manifest itself in iTunes? Is there a login?

  2. If I install it on a Bubba Server, how do I rip CDs to Firefly?

  3. Does music copied to Firefly arrange itself in the same directory structure as iTunes?

  4. What happens if I am logged in to the same Firefly music library from two computers?

  5. Do I just edit song ID tags from within iTunes as if the library was on my client machine?

I’m sorry if there is a FAQ answering all these questions, if there is please point me to it and I’ll leave you all alone! 😉

Thanks!
