rhythmbox package

is there a way of linking Rhythmbox to a mediatomb share on another pc?

Asked by lrovernut@btinternet.com

I have mediatomb on one pc and can access it via a web browser on the other pc,
Is there a way that Rhythmbox on the second pc can use mediatomb to access the music files on the first?

not to my knowledge. your best bet is to share the music directory on the mediatomb computer (right click on the folder, then click sharing). Then you should be able to access the music on the 2nd computer by going to Places->Network. After the network volume is mounted you could add the folder to rhythmbox.

I found the tangerine DAAP share and that sorted it for me.
Thanks for the reply.
