Ben, I hear you - 

I have a similar conundrum myself, and I'm begining to loose faith. I don't 
have a Linux server full of FLAC or Ogg-Vorbis music in the cellar, I have a 
Mac, iTunes, and a mixture of MP3 and AAC files.

AFAIK, SqueezeBox cannot browse/play directly from an iTunes share, unless Slim 
provide DAAP support (http://daap.sourceforge.net/). Until they do, you need to 
run SlimServer - which really just seems like a duplication of features already 
offered by iTunes but with SB support and a webbased GUI. SlimServer 6 is in 
Beta and still requires some work, 5.4.1 should be stable but is much slower at 
searching. The advantage of SlimServer (for me) is that it's independant of the 
logged in user.

Apple also provide a far cheaper hardware solution, with 100% iTunes 
integration - albeit sans display.
