Product Description:
Playback allows you to share your media with any Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or other UPnP compatible device. It automatically integrates with iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture, Adobe Lightroom 2, Photobooth, and more. You can share all content from these applications or choose specific playlists and albums.
Playback can also share media stored in folders or even make entire disks available to your Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. By default, Playback will share almost any content on your system. No configuration required! If you prefer to tinker, you'll appreciate Playback's built-in access control list (ACL) and bandwidth throttling. The ACL allows you to control which devices have access to your media. Bandwidth throttling limits the transfer rate from your computer to your UPnP device so others on your network can still surf the web and check their email.
Of course, if speed is your thing, we've got that too. Playback was engineered for extreme speed. Your media is served via lighttpd ( http://www.lighttpd.net/ ). This is the same software that powers YouTube, Wikipedia, and many other popular sites.
Other features include Growl notifications, on-screen thumbnails powered by QuickLook, and much more!

Cost effective solution that does what it says on the Tin - Version: 1.2, 11/17/2009 12:14AM PST

It does not require much tweaking although if you've got files in non-standard places you'll need to do some minor configuration to add them in.
I used this product with a PS3 and whilst it seemed to take longer than other UPNP players (MythTV and Mediatomb) I found the access to my many thousands of files to be very quick.
Un-intrusive on the desktop, small triangle on the top bar.
This is very good value for money I bought a copy for 10 quid which is extremely good considering the quality of the product. However be aware that the online website will automaticly try and sell you a "Backup CD" and a "License Retrieval" fee on checkout. As these two items doubled the cost I deleted them I recommend you do the same ;-)
