#Servetome port forwarding install

After that you fire up the browser interface where you can manage all your settings. I had a conflict so I moved it some unused port.

#Servetome port forwarding install

First thing after you install you might need to change the port from double clicking the tray icon. I'm not sure why they call it artist since it's not dependent on id3 tag information. Artist view really is just a folder director structure view. Installation is a snap, indexing music is super fast, service is lite weight and uses very little resources.

I don't mind paying the $15 or so license fee but please don't call it a donation if it is required. I have issues with using the word donation. It's always free forever if you just want to use the web interface for playback. The licensing is kind of odd in that it requires a 'donation' to use it beyond 30 days with the mobile clients. For iPhone there are 2 options: z-subsonic and iSub. It also supports several mobile phone clients for iPhone and android. Subsonic is the open source server piece which lets you stream your audio to any computer through it’s very nice and clean web interface (much faster than orb’s). Luckily I found subsonic which is an open source project.

I did NOT want to have to use Orb except as a last resort. After the implosion of Simplify Media (google bought them out) I was looking for a good audio streaming solution for my iPhone.
