[SATLUG] iTunes Server on Linux

daapd (http://www.deleet.de/projekte/daap/daapd/) was the first
implementation, but mt-daapd (http://www.mt-daapd.org/) seems to be
better now. In either case, the Linux server won't be compatible with
the iTunes store's DRM. You'd need to strip it using Hymn
(http://www.hymn-project.org/) or something similar. I don't use music
store, so I haven't read the terms, and IANAL anyway, but in spirit,
stripping the DRM should be ok as long as you did buy the music
legitimately.
