I cannot find it everywhere on the net specifically for amarok2 series, so if any of you can point me to the right direction I will really appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have to install songbird to recognize this mt-daap service and I don&#8217;t feel I&#8217;m goin to like this songbird at my first try. So without thinking  twice then I installed ampache server on my server as a second service to my media library and now, I can play using amarok. The other advantage using ampache is I can share all my flac files over the network &#8230;. yeeee haaaa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Firefly is an opensource\u00a0 music media server for Rokubridge and iTunes using Bonjour and avahi protocol daemon service as their frontend.
