I found this: [Joshua Rafofsky] wrote "Perhaps one of the most unheralded features of iTunes 4 is the ability to connect and share with music outside of your own local network! In order to activate this, turn on sharing in the iTunes preferences. Also be sure to open port 3689 in your router or firewall (this is iTunes' port for sharing). Then, tell your buddy across town to open iTunes 4 and choose "Connect to shared music" from the Advanced menu. Then he types in your public IP address. "Voila! He will have full interactive access to your music library, as well as any playlists you decide to share. (The collection shows up in the left column, the same way local machines would show up via Rendezvous.) Let me reiterate, this is *not* merely a stream of what you are playing... this is your full library, with full listening priveleges. Note that this only works with current MP3's, as any purchased (AAC) files are authorized to work on up to 3 machines with your account only.
