Netgear MP101 & OS X

Mac OS X and Netgear MP101

A pretty good solution- OK the only solution is allegro media server. I have an MP101 with this software on it- it's a bit of a pain in the ass- last I checked you had to create an xml file of your library- they have updated the software now and it may read your itunes library without a sidecar file like the the old version. You load allegro onto the netgear as a custom firmware and then you install the music server software on your mac. As far as I know it's just a lite service that broadcasts your itunes library data to the device, the device has the capability to play any (compatible) music file through your stereo. It's not as nice as the airport express as far as integration goes, but if you happen to have one- I suppose it's better than using it as a doorstop- but you should decide the mp101's final resting place.

How much to spend on a dead horse.

I was considering this but I just could not bring myself to spend $39 for the Allegro software for this old box. I guess you could argue cheaper than $99 for Airport Express. I have heard, but not tested, that Twonky Works.

$29 is slighly easier to swallow.
