the p2p functionality is used in sharing photos and workspaces (similar to backpack app). P2P is not used for jukebox (more like ur own personal music station).

another thought: maybe you could sell this as an app you can install on a (commercial) server of your choice, and so not have this drain your local (presumably home) bandwidth, while still being independent of google, flickr, etc.

This would also save you from having to keep your desktop computer on and online all the time..

we thought about that. do you think there will be a market for it? will you pay 20$ per month for a virtual private instance to have tonido

Me personally, no, but I can imagine that this would be attractive to a small business. Anyhow, isn't the effort to port the app from being desktop-based to server-based minimal since all the interfaces are web-based?

yes we can port it easily
