Martian SlingShot 2.0 adds iTunes music and playlist sync

Scott blogged Martian SlingShot, a Bonjour-enabled network syncing utility for your Macs, back in January, and a recent 2.0 update has brought iTunes music and playlist syncing to the table. In addition to being able to 'publish' and 'subscribe' to folders between multiple Macs on a local network (also known as a 'live backup'), SlingShot can now keep iTunes libraries and playlists in sync, watching for changes and copying over files when new additions are found.

A 30-day demo is available that allows you to publish or subscribe to one folder or playlist. Fortunately, Martian Technology LLC allows you to purchase one license for $29.99 USD on all the Macs you own, while business licensing is available upon request.

I'd like to have a server with a LARGE harddisk, but I want only selected iTunes playlists and iPhoto slideshows on my laptop versus my TV-connected MacMini.

Will this be possible with the next version of SlingShot?

We're looking at doing iPhoto sync in the next major version of SlingShot later this summer most likely.

Cheers

Anyone know if this works w/ iPhoto... that is another pain to keep in sync...

That is the most awesome thing ever. Seriously, why can't you do this anyway? Doesn't it make sense? Apple wants you to own a couple of iPods, and a few Macs. iTunes sync/distribution needs some tweaking.

Now I wonder when Apple will break this?
