A working Itunes-server would be nice.

Working and modern!

Now that my desktop's mothballed, I have no way to listen to my iTunes library via my satellite computers without this.

Please update the firmware. I am much more likely to continue buying everything Netgear (routers, switches, NAS, for friends and family as well) if the company proves that spending $1K (at the time) for my Duo with 1T of storage would be rewarded with continued support.

Do the right thing and I will continue to buy Netgear products.

Personally I prefer to use iTunes, but since I can't for now, I'm using Firefly Client. It lacks most options iTunes has, but at least I can play my music with it.

It hasn't been updated in quite some time, so don't expect to much from it

Oh and +1 to a iTunes server that works with iTunes 10.5

For those experiencing incompatibility with iTunes 1.0.5, we've released an add-on to this here.

When the addons you refer to are re-released it will once more allow Firefly to limp along a bit longer, but really Firefly is well past its sell by date and needs replacing as per this threads feature request.

Just bought an Ultra 4, and found it all simple and easy to setup and instructed friends to check them out. That is until I started the itunes server and subsequently found this thread. A fix is needed.

This forum has many great posts but it would be made all the better by some transparency from Netgear Tech Support on this matter. I empathize that the soultion may not be straight forward but some type clarification would be great.

An update fix for Firefly was released today on the same page yoh-dah linked to above. It works for me on both x86 and Sparc. If you installed an older version of the update and if as a result the new version doesn't work for you try my suggestion here: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=328221#p328221

Firefly is good and works. As for whether NetGear ports forked-daapd in the future we'll have to wait and see. However the more people that express interest the more likely they are to port it.

Thanks for fixing iTunes netgear! I'd still like to see us move to forked-daapd to get my atv2 working and other improved features. Another approach though would be to focus on the user mode stuff like libc that the community can't update. If you get those up to date then many addons like this one will be easy for the user community to do on our own.

Please port forked-daapd. PLEASE

Spoke to soon. Doesn't seem to work. Havefollowed the instructions earlier in thread to reinstall firmware and reapply the 1.03 update, but still no luck. I'm using the simple DAAP client for iPhones. It connects, but then seems to crash. The log file is full of "Broken Pipe" errors, eg:

2011-12-09 22:20:31 (01a48003): Error writing to client socket: Broken pipe
2011-12-09 22:20:31 (01a48003): Error writing to client socket: Broken pipe

Try this:
1. Remove Firefly
2. Do OS/firmware re-install
3. Install http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/3.01/CleanITunesConfig_0.1.bin
4. Install the 1.0.3 update again

Q2 2012 bump to be cool like qnap. Forked-daapd would make my readynas perfect.
