To get it working:
Open up port: 3689 in your Router
Turn on Sharing in iTunes
Then your friends can listen to your Library
If you want to listen to others:
In iTunes do cmd-k and type in the ip-number of your friends connection and away you go!

One question... did you just downloaded the stand alone installer Petra?
Cause i still don't see the new iTunes (and QuickTime 6.2) in my software updater?
And yes, i do feel the lack of Apple to support other countries outside the USA with it's services.
Just starting this week, we are able to buy a .Mac package in local Apple store.
This is Belgium but i guess other European are able to do so to now.

Let's hope Apple get's this "happening" in other countries soon...they should, because they plan to offer it for Windows users by the fall...so Macs first, eh!

But my mood improved when I saw your later post, Petra.
This document explains differences in the AAC and MP3 codecs that can be used in iTunes 4.
There's some interesting stuff about the mechanics of it all at, among others ... Fortune!
For instance (Devin Leonard writes): "anybody who tries to upload iTunes Music Store songs onto KaZaA will be shocked. Each song is encrypted with a digital key so that it can be played only on three authorized computers, and that prevents songs from being transferred online. Even if you burn the AAC songs onto a CD that a conventional CD player can read and then re-rip them back into standard MP3 files, the sound quality is awful."

Sorry for being such a neophyte.

A router is an Airport for instance or a Dlink, a gadget that sits between the internet and your network so more than one computer can share the Internet (some also use them as a way to protect themselves, such as a firewall).

My router is supplied by my service provider (RCN). So how do I open that port?

iTunes 4 sharing - works outside your subnet

192.168.1.1 or for DLink routers, 192.168.0.1 - from there, just cruise around until you find the applicable screen that lets you open ports. Usually the functions are relatively self-evident (or at least from my not-exactly-vast experiences with 3 different routers, it has been)

But still i can't get this sharing to work
Others can connect to me, but i can't connect to them.
Is it possible this is due to my ip provider? or any other thought?
P.S. i did created a new item on my Firewall on OsX, given the port and named it iTunes but again... the Firewall isn't even activated.
Oh yes... file sharing is enabled in iTunes

It says in the one link you gave me that my iTunes preferences should have that port in sharing, but there's nothing about ports in my iTunes sharing preferences. Does this mean I'm wrong, and I don't have a router? That doesn't make sense, because in Network it says I do. Why can't I open this port from my Network preferences, why do I have to go to an external URL with Safari?
