iCommune 2.0 Alpha Released 28
droopus writes "iCommune finally has a new release available. It was released a few months back, but it was implemented as an iTunes hardware plugin, and Apple terminated the developer's license to use that interface. But it's back and with source code." It is now a standalone application.

This [icommune.net] is a small perl script that will generate playlists for servers that do not run Mac OS X.
Yours truly uses it on his Linux box that serves MP3s to the whole house. /usr/local/bin/icommune_indexer.pl .mnt/music is triggered by a cron job every night. To install the libraries, you can use debian's apt, CPAN, or whatever floats your boat.

The songinfo.pls format seems to remain the same, but there is a new file called library.xml [icommune.net] which is strikingly similar to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml.
If this file is necessary for interaction with 2.0a, do you reckon there's an easy way to get icommune_indexer to generate it?

I also see the additional possibility that you can only stream a song to one person at a time, thus ensuring that the RIAA won't come after them, and possibly making iTunes a perfect base for setting up an MP3 server for a company or group.
iCommune may survive because it is contrary to Apple's method of maintaining personal choice with a resonable level of restraint.
