Blackhole Media quietly released its latest beta epiphany, Earphoria, on Feb 2nd. This application is designed to allow multiple networked Macs to share their respective mp3 collections seamlessly using Apple's open-sourced-based Rendezvous technology. "Earphoria works great at parties or in an office where you have a separate Mac playing music and would like to flip to the next song without getting out of your chair," enthuses Blackhole's spin. Using Rendezvous, which detects the services and functions of other Rendezvous-aware devices on a network, multiple Macs on a LAN can "automagically" share mp3-encoded music using iTunes. Obvious applications for this capability are home and office networks where a user can access music from their own collection away from their desk. Naturally, the extension of this is that other users can access your music, and visa versa, from anywhere on a discreet network. Earphoria can be downloaded here. Editor's note: Needless to say, I will be trying this application out tomorrow at my day job. This is just the sort application for which Rendezvous and iTunes were designed for. This is radio of, by and for the "rest of us." Assuming it works (hey, you folks in America are at work now, right?) this app is brilliant.
