I wrote a post on install ITune Server on FC6 (http://www.elian.co.uk/2007/04/12/atomic-band-itune-server/)

Due to recent upgrade our internal server to FreeBSD 7, I am looking for a similar solution for ITune Server on FB7.  When FB7 first released, the default C compile is gcc v4.2 and mt-daap was “known-not-compatible” with gcc 4. However, recently I find the new version or new port of mt-daap is fixed the problem with gcc v4.

To install mt-daap, compare with installing it on FC, it is so easy!
1. Make sure your ports are up-to-date. My prefer tool for manaing FreeBSD ports is portsnap, so simply run “portsnap fetch update”
2.Go to mt-daap folder(/usr/ports/audio/mt-daapd)
3. make install clean
4. OK, you got iTune server now!
5. TO configure it up, go to /usr/local/etc/.  Copy mt-daapd.conf.sample to mt-daapd.conf and change admin_pw and mp3_dir. Everything is done

If you got troubles to create playlist, try to use this only tool http://migrantcoder.com/daapd/ or for advanced users, read wiki on its offical website http://wiki.fireflymediaserver.org/Smart_playlists
