PlayDrive

Summary
By using bonjour (zeroconf), computers should have a public share that can be accessed via wifi (wireless) so that everyone in a space can share media. The ultimate idea though is to have a jukebox that harvests content from participants laptops and then autoDJs the content. There should be a weighted system for controlling the playback of content. Also, there should be a way to veto something that is playing in favor of other selections.

Details

 * Have a script (applescript or other) that can be downloaded to auto-configure a share for this type of sharing on someone's computer

Result

 * A media sharing event where the participants' media is representative of the gestalt of an event/gathering.

Research

 * iTunes
 * Seems the newest iTunes already uses some form of DAAP media sharing to share audio/video playlists! Could just use this!
