Dont panic, you're nearly all set! LobsterTunes needs a Media Server installed on your home computer so that you can share music with it. LobsterTunes works with any DLNA  compliant UPnP Media Server.  There are several free ones as well as free trial ones. Please choose one from the list below or if you find another one you like please let us know so we can add it to the list.


Free Media Servers

Windows

  • Windows Media Player 11 provides built in support for media sharing. Instructions for downloading, installing and configuring WMP 11 can be found here. Vista has WMP11 already installed.
  • TVersity  is a cool and popular free media server.
  • Orb can be downloaded from here
  • D-Link
  •  Fuppes is a beta opensource MediaServer that looks promising.

Mac

  • EyeConnect from Elgato systems. is by far the best Mac OS UPnP client that we have found so far.  We thoroughly enjoyed the 30-day free trial period and it is free if you only use it for Music serving.

 

Shareware Media Servers

  • TwonkyVision is very configurable and can be downloaded from here .
  • Allegro provides access to iTunes libraries as well as other music formats. A free trial can be downloaded from here.
