Are there any music programs that are available that run on the Nokia N770 that allow accessing daap shares? I found old posts regarding Rhythmbox, but couldn't find the binaries.

Try reading this thread.

DAAP is described in Post #4

========================

For use daapsharing on Nokia 770, you need start the service mDNSReponder

use this in xterm:
$cd /var/lib/install/usr/bin/
$./mDNSResponder

now you can start Rhythmbox and enjoy.


Now, what is DAAP?

"The Digital Audio Access Protocol, or DAAP, is used by Apple's iTunes 4.0 digital audio player to share music across a network or the Internet."
- http://daap.sourceforge.net/

Ok, this definately sounds very intriguing indeed. Although, I must admit that using 770 as a remote with VNC to control itunes is nice as well. But this is indeed even better.

I guess my problem was I couldn't find Rhythmbox anywhere....It looks like the links in that thread are broken....

Any compile a newer version of Rhythmbox?

No, the people who worked on porting Rhythmbox to the 770, eventually dropped that project to instead create Canola. Canola version 1 supposedly had DAAP support (I could see my files but never play them) but Canola 2 does not have DAAP support.

See http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ht=canola+daap and

http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...577#post161577

for details. Also note, while not DAAP, uPNP performs a similar function. Unfortunately, while Canola2 does have support for uPNP, that support is not in the version for the 770.

So - is there a way to resurrect Rhythmbox? I mean if all they did was a feww patches, I could try compiling it in the SDK.

Otherwise it appears I am out of luck, correct?
