Play iTunes from anywhere via SMB

You can always tunnel the trafic over SSH, becouse SMB-passwords isn't safe. Other then that it's excatly how I listen to my iTunes Library on the go.

When you say "tunnel the traffic over ssh", are you tunneling SMB or some other protocol (NFS, etc.) using ssh?

I do something similar on my home LAN for a couple accounts to share the music files, but haven't braved opening up ports 137-139 to the outside world yet (I too, would tunnel). Originally I set it up by setting iTunes to "not copy files", and just added from the share. Then I added in the same way on my wife's account. This has the drawback of her not automatically getting anything newly added, nor seeing my playlists. I'm eternally looking for the better way...
