In iTunes prefs, you can see how many users are connected to you. Does this number mean they're listening to your music, or just that they're on the network?

connected -- not listening

you can run "lsof -c | iTunes" in the terminal to see what files iTunes is using.

Not sure if thats the right command, should be close though. Read the man page for lsof.

man lsof

It's been a while since I have used OS X.
Could care less about tact..

the output seems pretty simple - someone needs to make a simple app to parse this data. I'd do it, but I don't know how to access the console and its feedback from an external app (applescript anyone?)

It would be great to have a kind of iTunes Sharing Monitor.


anyone?

A command that should give cleaner output is.

lsof TCP:3689
or
lsof -i TCP:3689

One of those should work. My terminal skills aren't very sharp since I have been stuck in 9 for about six months.
