Harmonium

Harmonium is an application that runs as a windows service, enabling you to listen to the music stored on your computer using your TiVo device.

To take advantage of this utility your TiVo needs to be enabled for Home Network Application and you can do that from the device settings. You also need to make sure the music you want to play with TiVo is in the correct folder so it can be accessed by your home entertainment device.

Then you just need to extract the archive and edit the configuration files using a text editor so Harmonium uses the correct path to your music files and M3U playlists.

After that, run the executable files and gain access to Harmonium features from the menu of your TiVo device.

The first time the service is launched it will catalog your songs by retrieving their ID3 data in order to offer you a better user-experience while listening to your favorite music.

To navigate through your music library and playlist you can simply use the remote control of TiVo. Harmonium enables you to shuffle the music, rewind a track or replay it, as well as alphabetically browse through the melodies on the list.

Another important option this utility offers you is the possibility to manage your playlists by adding or removing items, so you can organize your music according to your preferences.

Harmonium comes in handy when you want to play the music from your computer or server with the help of your video recording device, TiVo.
