stream itunes => songbird with SSH tunnel
Ok, so this might not work with the latest version of iTunes since we all know how much Apple likes to screw with iTunes… This works for me because I have a ReadyNAS NV+ at home that offers its own iTunes-like DAAP server which is apparently compatible with the Songbird DAAP plugin.
The SSH tunnel:
ssh -p <ssh_gateway_port> -L <some_random_local_port>:<itunes_host_ip>:3689 <username>@<ssh_gateway_ip>
In Songbird, with the DAAP add-on, go to File -> New DAAP Library… and fill in daap://localhost:<some_random_local_port>.
Boom, music streaming…
