  I use slimserver.
  
  Using slimserver, you can access all your tunes over your network (or internet if you have a static ip) using any mp3 program that supports streams (winamp, i tunes) and you can adjust the playlist from your web browser. You can even set up seperate streams for seperate machines, and use playlists.
  
  Check out slimdevices.com
  
  The software is for their streaming device, but does not require it to work. They have the server software for linux or windows, etc.

    The trick is to try and get it so the other 100 people in the office can read it without having to install anything special. Here-in lies the difficulty, getting it to broadcast (apparently through rendezvous and daapd) so it appears native.

      maybe try the slimserver and use avahi to mimic rendevous?
      
      I just thought I would throw it out there, have no idea if it would work. good on you if you can pull it off.

      They shouldnt have to. Any mp3 player that plays mp3 streams should do it. Hell, Media player should do it.

  You could try Wine. I know iTunes runs on Codeweavers Crossover Office (fairly inexpensive commercial software).
