Configuring DAAP in Freenas – iTUNES Database

Keep in mind that the newer versions of iTunes no longer support DAAP so you will need to use Apple iTunes version 6 or earlier.

Setting up your own Freenas DAAP server is really easy though if you are using FreeNAS, there are only two steps. The first thing to do is enable the ZEROCONF service from the system – advanced menu.
