Play Music at work from Ipod at home?????


So, i've gotten my Ipod to be recognized in my 2.6.3 Kernel Slackware machine, and now i'm wondering if there's a way to play the music here at work while the ipod is on my desk at home. So, any takers? i have SSH, HTTP, and FTP running at home, what do ya think is the best way to go about this? Really though i'm just curious if its possible.

Well, I don't have an IPod, so I don't know how you use it in Linux, but if you could mount it (like a USB Mass Storage device) then you should be able to share it like any other directory.

Is your machine at work running Linux, or anything else (OS X, cygwin) with an X server? If so, how about an ssh tunnel for xmms (or whatever) through ssh:

ssh -X you@your.home.machine
mount /your/iPod/directory
xmms &

Xmms opens on your work desktop, and you open /your/iPod/directory in xmms.

Or, what about netjuke? [ http://netjuke.sourceforge.net/ ]

If you can mount the iPod, create a a directory and make it available in apache. Since you already have HTTP running, you can access it on any machine with web access without worrying about authentication or mounting.

If you really wanted to have some fun, mount your ipod and setup a shoutcast server, that way you can listen to your own stream of music from anywhere. Just make sure you give us the ip so we can listen .

Putting 1000s of copyrighted songs on a publicly accessible web server or shoutcast server is an invitation for a law suit. Password protect it with at least an htaccess file.
