Nice article I read in the WSJ for iTunes fanatics. I’ll include it here to avoid subscription worries.
Getting Your iTunes

Problem: Accessing your iTunes library on any computer.
Solution: Many third-party services stream your music across the Internet free of charge. With Simplify Media, for example, you can browse and play the entire contents of your digital music library on other computers using Apple’s iTunes software. With Simplify Media’s program (Simplifymedia.com), you can authorize up to 30 other computers to access your melodies remotely whenever your home computer is connected to the Internet. Other streaming services, like NuTsie, work by uploading the contents of your library onto a server. Then you can listen to the music on any computer, or even a cellphone, by logging on to NuTsie.com. The hitch is that the uploading process can take several minutes, and you can listen only to preset playlists. Avvenu Music (Avvenu.com) is another software service that lets you listen to your iTunes songs on other PCs or Macs.
Caveat: You can’t use the services to burn remote songs to CDs or transfer them to an iPod or MP3 player.
