Itunes has a shared library feature but does not show you who and what is it sharing to.So lets start terminal and type :
lsof |grep iTunes |grep TCP
You can also find out what they are listening to by doing
lsof | grep mp3
Now how about for a little fun , say your colleague is listening from a windows machine
nmblookup -A 192.168.0.23
gives you their netbios name , next on use that name with :
echo “Ejoying songname John ?” | smbclient -M THENAMEHERE
shows a dialog like this smack middle in their windows screen
Note that you can send messages like this to any computer you see in finder’s SHARED sidebar , just don’t abuse it , it will stop being funny.

Since i started dual booting either Tiger or Leopard one thing that really annoyed me was that i had to deal with 2 itunes libraries , not being able to have the same thing in itunes no matter what i boot into.
Well there is a very elegant and easy fix for that that i am going to detail in this post and it only requires you to have a extra partition besides the ones that you are booting from.
So let’s get to it (texts in bold are shell commands and should be entered via Terminal):
1 – move your itunes library to a partition you do not boot from (i put mine on the Storage partition)
mv ~/music/iTunes /Volumes/IStorage/
2 – boot into each of the os’es and delete ~/music/iTunes if existing and make a symbolic link to the new location in its place
ln -s /Volumes/IStorage/Itunes/ ~/music/iTunes
This works beautifully and it works at some extent for things like Photo Booth too , also tho it might work i do not advise to make the links with Finder , just stick to console.

Everyone has those divx movies , you can play them in quicktime given you have the proper codecs like Perian , but the pesky itunes will not add the files to its library.
What we need to do is basically change metadata of files by adding type “MooV” to them , the simplest way to do it is download this
applescript droplet i wrote and just drag the files you want fixed on its icon.
A more involved way to do it that needs devtools (found on the install dvd) installed is by entering the bold text below in Terminal , after you modified the path and extension to suit your needs.
find /path/toyour/movies/directory -name “*.avi” -print0 | xargs -0 /developer/tools/SetFile -t “MooV”
Now that you can play those files with itunes how about having them show and play in Front Row from the confort of your remote ??!! , without even adding them to the itunes library , it is just a matter of making symbolic links in your ~/Movies folder to the directories containing your movies , you can use the shell or just alt+cmd drag them to ~/Movies to make the links.
