We need a two part solution:
1) A Windows "server" application that is installed on PCs that broadcasts the list of unprotected items and playlists in the iTunes library. It needs to be able to serve the files upon request.
2) A Linux client component that can scan for machines on the network that are sharing their iTunes lists. Given a machine one must be able to request the lists and/or request a song (download) from the list. We do not want to rely on Windows file sharing. Command line driven is sufficient, we will incorporate our UI over this once it's working.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
Windows software installation package that will install the server software in ready-to-run condition. **The Windows installer or server software must unblock the server's port from the Windows XP firewall. ** The Linux component must successfully compile and run, an installer is not needed.
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).
## Platform
Windows (server) and Linux (browser/client)
