A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 074. In iTunes 9 Apple added a feature called Home Sharing. Slowly they have been expanding on and improving the feature and with iOS 4.3 they brought it to our iDevices. By sprinkling in integration with other technologies, like Air Play, Home Sharing has been getting more and more useful. Due to the improvements I’ve noticed it slowly integrating more tightly into my iLife. In this episode I look at this new feature, how I’m using it, and share some tips and tricks you may have missed.
