iPod & iTunes Hacks: Build a Cheap Linux Music Server

Overview "Build a Cheap MacMP3/AACServer" covered how to create an awesome Mac-based digital music server. But what if one has a spare PC or a Mac that is too old to run OS X? The best option is to look at creating a Linux music server for the iTunes music collection. That's right, with an old machine one has lying around, and the best open source operating system out there, one too can easily build a jammin' music server. To make the jukebox complete, one can route the music to the stereo with AirPort Express and AirTunes.
