getTunes2.3.6

is there any sharing program that works with 4.8?

anyone know how to get this to work in iTunes 4.7.1 and OS X 10.3.8? I just updated my software and now my favorite app doesn't work! Help!

Try OurTunes. Works fine for me in iTunes 4.7. I'm holding off upgrading to 4.7.1. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15730

Anyone having trouble with itunes 4.7 where the song won't even show up in the gettunes window?

getTunes 2.3.6 isn't working with iTunes 4.7.1. Nothing downloads. "ERROR: cannot download songs," it says.

Absolutely fabulous! I've had no problems....am totally loving Get Tunes!

I don't understand why I need to be a user with high privileges to use this program. If I use it as a normal user it asks to me for an authentication password (I guess it's the root password) but everything I provide I get the same window again; until I cancel and the program stops.

Don't steal music The author says. So why release this piece of software?

how do i get to play songs i get from get tunes if it asks " this computer is not authorized to play" and wants anther password which would not know as i got the song from a network with out the password. is there a hack to get around this?

Doesn't work with iTunes 4.7. It's still giving me the unshared music error.

This is a great little app, i find it very useful because at home i have many different songs on different computers. I love this application, but just a downside: why must it ask for a password and does it have to be admin because it does not work on some users on my computer.

you have to cut and paste this link, but it works with itunes 4.7. It automatically downloads then you just need to start it. http://www.yellojakit.com/gettunes.zip

any news on when it will work for 4.7? i'm dying out here... -mh

Still not working with v4.7.... 'not shared music' error on download!

This program doesn't work. It worked well with iTunes 4.6, but not 4.7.

don't work with iTunes 4.7

does anybody know, did itunes 4.7 break ourtunes, too?

Did iTunes 4.7 break this app? When I try to download music from a shared library, I get an error "Error: Selection contains non-shared music" yet I can listen to it fine usinf iTunes. Any ideas?

why do i have to give my admin password away?

Dear "Anonymous" If you can't see a reason, then you are definately not much of a thinker. It's a good thing we don't rely on YOU to write cool software! My wife and I each have our own powerbooks and this software allows us to share MP3 files that are NOT copyrighted. (believe it or not, they do exist - especially for CREATIVE people who tend to create their own MP3s from time to time!) Basically, if you can't think of a use, it's because your stupid, not because one does not exist. Also, if you have something negative to say, have the intestinal fortitude to use your name (unless your parents were equally bad thinkers and they named you 'Anonymous' - in which case, my apologies for making fun of your name.)

why can i only read songs from itunes one at a time? can somebody help me out here?

I finally got the program downloaded and it stopped asking me for the password BUT now no music will come up...it says that it is not shared music, even though it IS and can be played on my iTunes. Suggestions, anyone?

how do i get the admin password?

does anyone know of a windows version of getTunes that will work with iTunes 4.5???

Hi, i sucessfully downloaded and installed getTunes, but when i try to 'add selection' it comes up with "error: selection contains non-shared music", even though it IS shared music on the network. Any suggestions?

After I installed this excellent app it won't let me eject the volume "getTunes" and won't let me delete the disk image file either. It says they are both in use even though I have no apps open. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

Works pretty good. Is quite slow because it has to check eash single file that is added to the library. Ie. not possible to select 500songs and download, because it's gonna take 20min adding them and only after that you can start DL them :) Other than that, - excellent tool! bug: Files are not saved to the location set in the prefs [/Users/MyUser/Music/getTunes/], instead they are saved directly to the trash??? :)

im using 2.3.6. gettunes puts the songs into itunes, but when i try to find a particular song to send to a friend, i cant find the song anywhere; that is, UNTIL i looked into the trash; whats going on?

I am not sure what to do at step 3 for a network interface??? "3) Open Preferences and select the network interface you want getTunes to listen to. Click OK." Thanks!!

At first sight the protocol doesn't seem to have changed between 4.5 and 4.6. GetTunes should work. Post a reply to this message if 4.6 is causing you trouble.

I need help quickly. i am trying to get some music on my computer before school lets out. When i go to download the music once it is added in the get tunes screen nothing happens. I push the download button and it does nothing. For some reason when i add the song it starts to play for about three seconds then it wont let me ownload

I am having trouble downloading the music from shared libraries at my university. how do i download the music to my library once i add it to GetTunes.

The security update that first came out after itunes 4.5 broke gettunes, and I haven't heard of gettunes fixing it. But now there's another security update....anyone know if this breaks gettunes? On the one hand, I'm on a mac, I don't think I really need to worry about the security stuff.....but I'm still kind of uncomfortable not downloading it. Could somebody post info about this, who knows the whole deal?

getTunes 2.3.5 seems to work quite wonderfully for the most part. However, it refuses to download songs whose song name beings with a quotation mark, e.g. "Heroes" by David Bowie. This is probably some minor bug, easily fixable?

I found out what was causing the disconnections after a few songs were donwloaded. It was a one line fix. Apparently, in the new version, iTunes now checks if a header called "Connection" is present and set to "close"; unless it is there, iTunes closes the connection, ironically enough. The one line fix is this: (Search for "connection.connect();", and insert the following directly previous to it) connection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close"); Glad I could be of assistance.

Thanks for reporting the preferences bug, it's going to be fixed in the new update soon. I'm a little busy right now to deal with the usability of getTunes, but I've got good ideas on what to change. Could people with problems due to the new security update describe the symptoms in more details?

I'm unable to use the new version at all. I've got the root password enabled, but getTunes just keeps asking me for it over and over.

excellent program, but ive think the best success comes if you enable the root password before you you try and open the program

It would seem that after the most recent security update, getTunes no longer works. Perhaps Apple actually figured out a way to stop this software from working...?

This is something you can try if you've got problem with the password: - In the terminal, try typing "sudo echo password_ok" and when requested, type in your password for getTunes. Don't worry if you can't see you password, it's suppose to do that. - If you see "password_ok" then you're using the correct password and something else is wrong. If this is you, reply to this message with your system setup (version of OSX, Java runtime version, etc) - If your password doesn't work, make sure you're using your admin password. I think if you're using OSX 10.2 then try your root password. For people with downloading problem: - Make sure you disable your proxy before you launch getTunes. - After adding songs, try to download them asap. Also, if you play other songs without adding, when you download it would become 'Stuck". Do not stream songs while downloading. iTunes sometime sees this and prematurely disconnect, resulting in a failed download. I agree the current method for queuing songs aren't ideal, and I'm developping "select then add" function in the next release.

Help! When I try to click on the download link, all I get is a new window filled with nonsense/ code... am I doing something wrong?

It says it downloads the songs, I see the data "transferring", but the music doesn't show up anywhere. Not in the getTunes folder, not in the Music folder, not in iTunes, not in the Library, not in the getTunes playlist, nowhere!!!! Where are my songs? What have I done wrong, and how can I retrieve the data?

I like that the get getTunes is compatible with iTunes 4.5, but does anyone else experience problems with the program hanging up when you try to actually download the songs from the que to your disk? it just seems to freeze. Any suggestions, or is this a bug?

when i try to log in it won't allow me to because i can't get past asking for my admin password even though it is the correct password
