If you have a very large collection of files this program struggles, and will probably crash.
The authors of this program don't respond to feedback or questions.
Still, I guess its free so I shouldn't expect it to actually work should I....

A tip for those getting errors like "The shared music library "iPod" is not accessible for an unknown reason. (-3260)
Check that any firewall softawre running on either the shared computer or this computer has been set to allow communication on port [2000, and others]."
Change the port on which MusicPublisher runs. If you have iTunes running on the maching with sharing active then you can not share from both iTunes and MusicPublisher on the same port. This is one of the very few things documented, not sure how people miss it. (It is a simple enough app that documentation is largely superfluous though.)
I find the app very useful in that I have 2 iTunes libraries that I use on my PB with regularity (One on my powerBook hard drive with only about 1000 songs, one on a FW drive with ~9000) This allows me to run the local library all the time and use MusicPublisher to "share" my firewire library with myself. This is easier for me then switching back an forth between the two libraries.

Nice app, but Apple already allows you to share your music across Rendevous. Just go into your System Prefs, Sharing, Firewall, scroll down to iTunes sharing and turn it on. Or, for a closed network, in iTunes, from the task bar at the top of your monitor, go to iTunes, Preferences... In the next window, select the blue Sharing button and click your desired preferences.
Also, I think there may be a bug in this app that if you already have sharing turned on through itunes/sys prefs, this app doesn't work. Or it could be that I just installed iTunes ver 4.7.1.

I want to use it to share the music on my iPod over my college network, but whenever someone tries to access it they get that message. Please help! Maybe I need a different port?

Great App, but not perfect... yet. - Version: 1.0b4, 2/25/2004 01:20PM PST

Works as advertised, but when the shared library of your iPod shows up as a shared playlist/library in iTunes, my categories show up as (1), (2), etc. But the rest of the browsing experience acts like anybody else's shared library. When you first set your iPod for sharing, you have to choose a port like 3687 or something random, and then it makes a cache of your iPod's metadata. For me, it took a couple of minutes with my 20gig 3G iPod, but each subsequent caching took only a few seconds. I wouldn't want to tax my iPod by having even 3 people using it at the same time, but 2 worked just fine. Now, is there a PC equivalent (I'm ignorant if there is a similar app for sharing your iPod in iTunes when connected to a PC)?

Extremely Simple to use
It just works.
I have not had any problems since I started use this back with 1.0b1

with it just sitting never publishing completely, but it seems to be working great now! Excellent work, keep it free and you'll have a killer little app.
I thought iTunes 5 released today, may have broken it though. Appears that it is OK. The only thing different I noticed is that the iPod no longer show's up in my own shared folder. It used to in 4.9. No problem. I have the full iPod direcory anyway. The only thing that was nice about it showing up before, was that you could tell right away if the sharing was working. No big.
This is truly an awesome app! Nice job!
