Welcome to iSlurp

iSlurp and iTunes >4.0.0

iSlurp does not work with iTunes versions greater than 4.0.0. Apple correctly changed the protocol in 4.0.1 in response to application such as iSlurp. (instead of sueing me/others) iTunes now uses key passing to verify that the client is a valid iTunes user. Circumventing this security measure would be a violation of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and therefore I will not be releasing a new version of iSlurp. When iTunes was not encrypted, Apple had no good faith effort to keep people from using the open DAAP protocol. Under those circumstances, iSlurp was legal. So, if by some odd chance, you're still using iTunes 4.0.0, feel free to enjoy iSlurp.
