iTunes Jukebox at Lewis

Our music teacher at Lewis, Mr. Jamesbarry, had a great idea that we recently implemented. Last year we had talked about setting up a server to share some of the music he uses with classrooms. This summer when we moved all of our machines to OS X, he got the idea of setting up a machine with iTunes and loading it with all the music he uses in his music program. With the music installed on the music classroom machine, and running under iTunes, it can be set up so that the music on that machine is available to any other machine on the network via iTunes music sharing and Rendezvous. Now Mr. Jamesbarry can point our classroom teachers to the selections on our iTunes jukebox that correspond to the lessons he has shared with our students. Again, ZeroConfig/Rendezvous provides a very easy way to share our resources within the building without any of us having to be a networking genius. Just boot up iTunes and you’ll find Mr. Jamesbarry’s music. Not much U2, but he does have all those cool tunes that go with 5th grade square dancing unit...
