Mojo: Remote iTunes library sharing and downloading for Mac
When you want to browse a friend's iTunes collection from across town, Mojo, developed by Deusty Designs LLC., extends iTunes library sharing beyond the local network to internet-connected friends. The app lets you discover remote libraries, chat while you browse, and copy tracks into your own iTunes collection using automated networking protocols. It highlights songs you already own and flags protected files, making it useful for iTunes-focused Mac users who want straightforward remote music exchange.

What is Mojo used for?
Mojo is an audio utility that turns iTunes into a peer-to-peer discovery and transfer system so you can access other users' collections remotely. In practice, you use the app to browse another person's library, stream tracks, and copy songs directly into your local iTunes. The tool requires an iTunes installation on your device and acts as an extension to that library rather than a standalone player.
How does Mojo handle network discovery and NAT issues?
The app removes manual network setup by combining Bonjour for local discovery with XMPP and STUNT for internet connectivity, so you do not configure ports yourself. Bonjour finds other Mojo users on the same local network automatically, while the XMPP and STUNT stack negotiates connections across routers and firewalls. That zero-configuration approach lets you focus on browsing and sharing instead of fiddling with router settings.
Is Mojo aimed at casual listeners or dedicated collectors?
You get the most from Mojo if you collect music inside iTunes and want to expand libraries with peers. The interface includes an integrated chat, which supports social discovery during browsing, and a smart filter that greys out tracks already in your library and marks DRM-protected files in red. Those traits help collectors avoid duplicates and identify files that may not import cleanly.
How reliable is file transfer and archive compatibility?
The app supports direct file copying into iTunes and visually flags protected content so you can judge transfer success before importing. Mojo was developed primarily for Mac OS X and requires iTunes to function, and a Windows build was created to permit cross-platform sharing. The project is considered a legacy utility and it retains a positive presence in software archives as a historical solution for remote iTunes sharing.
Mojo is a practical gateway for iTunes-focused collectors
If you maintain an iTunes-centric library and prefer direct file exchange with friends, Mojo represents a pragmatic entry point supported by Deusty Designs LLC., a studio known for CocoaLumberjack and XMPP frameworks. Expect to work with archived software and older iTunes setups; the app suits users willing to run legacy tools to regain remote library access and straightforward peer-to-peer transfers.
