Sharing my music over the net

First, I teted that I can connect to mmtao.org with a tunnel by checking the iTunes connection, then starting an SSH tunnel and trying

-0-(mattk@matthew-kenworthys-computer:~)$ telnet localhost 3689 Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. GET /

Also....

telnet localhost 3689

and try:

GET /content-codes HTTP/1.0

and if it works, it'll spit out a load of data along the lines of... HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 05 Jul 2007 02:48:18 GMT DAAP-Server: Rhythmbox 0.9.8 Content-Type: application/x-dmap-tagged Content-Length: 4835

...loads of junk...

Okay. I downloaded a java program called ourTunes and ran it on the Ma.c With the ssh tunnel running, I could see and download data from localhost as daap, but it saw both my itunes and another local users' itunes but could not talk to them. Reading a bit on their website, it looks as if Apple has changed the authentication required for accessing iTunes, and so I suspect I cannot get iTunes 7.3 to look at the daap from mmtao.org. Suck!
