Another option would be to run a server which speaks iTunes' sharing

servers would do quite what you want.  The perl module 'Net::DAAP::Server'
might be a good place to start looking, or daapd[1].

Thanks for the pointer.

I'm trying to figure out, though, why we need yet *another* network file system protocol, this one just to share music. Is there some essential functionality in DAAP that I can't somehow provide over NFS, AFS, SMB or even http?

Or is this just Apple up to its old tricks? Maybe I was wrong when I thought that with Mac OS X, Apple had finally seen the wisdom of building on open platforms.
