Escient’s FireBall Music Manager is a dedicated music server hardware device. Escient on Thursday announced the release of FireBall-PC, free software which enables Mac and PC users to share the contents of their hard disks with the FireBall Music Manager as well.

The FireBall Music Manager is available in capacities from 80GB to 400GB. It connects to your home entertainment system using RCA and digital audio connectors as well as S-Video, composite or component video connectors. The device also plugs into your home computer network, providing a central way to store and access music and other digital entertainment. Some systems feature internal hard drives and CD-RW drives to rip or burn music on the fly. Also included is free Internet radio, network file sharing, stream support, a PDA Web interface, gapless song playback and many other features.

FireBall-PC lets you specify one or more music files on a Mac or PC to share with any FireBall device on the network. Your Mac’s music folder will then appear on the FireBall’s onscreen menu as an additional music server. Music from your computer is then streamed to the FireBall over the network.

The software lets you add any songs to custom playlists, “Favorites” or genres you define yourself, regardless of where the song file is actually located.

FireBall-PC also supports Escient’s DVDM-100 and SE-D1 DVD management systems, the MP-150 and MP-200 digital media players, none of which have their own internal hard disk storage.

The software requires a free automatic update to FireBall Media Managers and Mac OS X v10.4 or later. The computer needs to be on the same network as the FireBall Media Manager. The song files must have valid ID3, ASF or Ogg-style tags in order to be recognized by the FireBall’s Music Guide.

The MacPorts Project Official Homepage

The MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the Mac operating system. To that end we provide the command-line driven MacPorts software package under a 3-Clause BSD License, and through it easy access to thousands of ports that greatly simplify the task of compiling and installing open-source software on your Mac.

We provide a single software tree that attempts to track the latest release of every software title (port) we distribute, without splitting them into “stable” Vs. “unstable” branches, targeting mainly macOS High Sierra v10.13 and later (including macOS Big Sur v11). There are thousands of ports in our tree, distributed among different categories, and more are being added on a regular basis.

Getting started

For information on installing MacPorts please see the installation section of this site and explore the myriad of download options we provide and our base system requirements.

If you run into any problems installing and/or using MacPorts we also have many options to help you, depending on how you wish to get get in touch with us. Other important help resources are our online documentation, A.K.A The MacPorts Guide, and our Trac Wiki server & bug tracker.

Latest MacPorts release: 2.6.4

Getting involved: Students

A good way for students to get involved is through the Google Summer of Code. GSoC is a program to encourage students' participation in Open Source development and offers a stipend to work on the project with an organization for three months. MacPorts has been participating in the program since 2007! We shall participate next year as well. You may find past GSoC projects here.

We have a list of ideas with possible tasks for MacPorts and additional information about the process at wiki/SummerOfCode. We are always open to new ideas. Research on the idea, draft an initial proposal and get it reviewed.

Getting involved

There are many ways you can get involved with MacPorts and peer users, system administrators & developers alike. Browse over to the “Contact Us” section of our site and:

  • Explore our mailing lists, either if it is for some general user support or to keep on top of the latest MacPorts developments and commits to our software repository.
  • Check out our Support & Development portal for some bug reporting and live tutorials through the integrated Wiki server.
  • Or simply come join us for a friendly IRC chat if you wish for more direct contact with the people behind it all.

If on the other hand you are interested in joining The MacPorts Project in any way, then don't hesitate to contact the project's management team, “PortMgr”, to explain your particular interest and present a formal application. We're always looking for more helping hands that can extend and improve our ports tree and documentation, or take MacPorts itself beyond its current limitations and into new areas of the vast software packaging field. We're eager to hear from you!
