Stream audio from Windows 7 to Ubuntu

I have an Ubuntu 9.10 (alpha) computer as my primary machine, but also have a Windows machine which I keep my iTunes music on.

"For streaming just music, Icecast is a good option.

There is not a way to access iTunes shares from Linux, other than running iTunes under Wine.

You could also look at Airfoil Speakers which would allow your Windows iTunes to treat the Ubuntu box as a set of remote speakers."

With Ubuntu, you should be able to access itunes shares with daap module that Rhythmbox can use, as well as Amarok. I've done it with my colleagues in the office before.
