That was the point so I could play them on the tivo and at work. oh well, they did have a disclaimer that it wasn't guaranteed to work or to continue to work.</p> I loved mp3tunes for about a week, until it stopped streaming itunes drm files.

I've been able to get some music to play but I can't see my full artist or albums lists (it only shows down to about the Fs for artists) and the application keeps crashing with 'out of memory' issues. I have about 40GB of music on their servers so the problems may be due to the size of the locker.</p> I just tried out my mp3tunes locker on my TiVo and it sorta works but needs more work.

It is currently hooked up wirelessly to my Apple Base Station Extreme. Is there a way to have the Tivo play my iTunes music over the TV? The computer and Tivo are in seperate parts of the house and it would sure be nice.</p> I have a Toshiba 120 Tivo box and the free service.
