    2323By now you have Higgins running, and you can access the web interface on localhost:8000.  However, there is no media in the library, so Higgins isn't very useful at the moment.  In order to add media, we use the `higgins-upload` command: 
    2424{{{ 
    25 $ higgins-upload -l /path/to/my/music 
     25$ higgins-upload -l /path/to/my/song.mp3 [...] 
    2626}}} 
    2727 
    28 === Configuring services === 
     28The `-l` flag uploads in local mode, which means `higgins-upload` only sends the file metadata and the local path to the file, instead of uploading the file itself.  If your media exists on the same machine that Higgins is running on, you want to be sure to use local mode.

     30=== Enabling plugins === 
    3031 
    31 === Accessing Higgins with other software === 
     32Higgins can share audio with iTunes and iTunes-compatible software.  To do so we need to enable the DAAP plugin.  In the web interface, click the ''Settings'' link, then click the ''Plugins'' link.  Below the link you will see a list of available plugins, including the DAAP plugin.  Click the DAAP checkbox, then press the Update Services button to enable the plugin.  Now fire up iTunes, Banshee, or another DAAP-aware music player and you can stream your songs from Higgins!
