If you want music in other parts of the house, consider getting a Roku SoundBridge, or similar device. Roku discontinued them a few years ago. Basically, they're an ethernet (wireless or wired) connection coming in on one side and sound jacks (analog and digital) going out on the other side. They connect to a variety of music servers, but probably work best with iTunes, and let you play your music library anywhere you can connect to your household network. <http://soundbridge.roku.com/soundbridge/index.php> I'm pretty certain there are other similar products which are still sold and supported by other manufacturers. All that said, I eventually decided that my Beige G3 was too bulky to keep around as a music server and switched to a G4 Mac Mini with a stack of drives in Newer Technology MiniStacks.
