Firefly Media Server (mt-daapd) has been a widely used and loved media streaming server that, up until iTunes 10, worked rather effortlessly with iTunes. However, with the release of iTunes 10 it no longer works as expected. If you're in the same boat as I was then you're rather frustrated by this as Firefly is no longer being maintained. This means the only hope for a fix is going to either be patching it (Which is possible but in my opinion it's messy.) or replacing it. I did a little looking around and found the following article: http://jamesdanylik.com/articles/undoing-the-damage-replacing-mt-daapd-firefly-with-forked-daapd/. Forked-daapd is essentially a rewritten version of mt-daapd (Firefly) with some added features and speed.

Anyone who has had to deal with broken HTML knows that one of the most frustrating things to deal with is HTML that has been entered by a user. There are a number of issues that might make themselves all too obvious. One of the more painfully obvious and evil things to deal with is user entered HTML without proper closing tags.
