Hey folks, Lee's suggestion was nearly right, but didn't quite work, because iTunes won't connect to the localhost as a server. The good news is that his ssh-tunneling solution gave me the proper key words to search some more. The solution is out there - it is even on Macosxhints, which I had already searched, but I hadn't found it.
Here's what to do: 1. Download Network Beacon from http://www.chaoticsoftware.com/ProductPages/NetworkBeacon.html 2. Go to the hint at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030602094254826 3. Skip the original hint, because it has some problems. Instead, search the page for "option works". You'll get to a long hint posted by ecammit. 4. Follow the instructions, but be careful, because there are 2 changes in the instructions. Both the changes are farther along in the discussion, but I'll put them here for ease of use: 4.a. 127.0.0.1 should be used instead of 'localhost' when setting up the ssh tunnel. The latter doesn't work well. 4.b. 4689 should be used instead of 3689 when the client wants to share also (this is in ecammit's next post). I'm now happily able to take the iTunes from Work and listen on multiple computers at home. The password protection works, which is good because it allows me to pick and choose who can listen to music at work. Thanks to Lee for the help. His little example got me to understand the ssh tunneling and got the proper sequence of words to find the full solution. Bill Postscript: For a single computer, Lee's solution was nearly right, but because of the localhost restriction, it needed to have another computer through which the tunnel ran (ugh).
