My music is stored in iTunes (Apple Lossless) and with iPods, it is probably going to stay in the iTunes library.

However, I really want to be able to "see/play" the music with a uPnP client...

What are some solutions that would allow me to make the MacMini/iTunes library look like a uPNP data store?

I am aware of eyeConnect... is this the best choice? are there other options?

Thanks.

In order for your library to be uPnp compatible, or seen by a dlna device, it needs to be stored on a true network share/drive and you need to pick a compatible format (MP3 or WAV; ALAC won't work).

Running eyeConnect does some magical things on the Mac -- it turns the Mac iTunes library into a uPnP library and decodes ALAC on-the-fly... Link:  http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/software/EyeConnect.en.html

There are a few other programs like this out there... just looking for the one with the best performance and least headaches.

Thanks.

and decodes ALAC on-the-fly...

Into what though?  16/44.1 PCM?

[scott_man]

From what I understand, EyeConnect transcodes (on-the-fly) the ALAC files to WAV. 

Right now, I have ripped my CD collection to my iTunes library -- so, 16/44.1 is just fine.

[I don't expect this to a long-term solution, high-resolution files will change things... I just want a stable solution today].
