SimplifyMedia iTunes sharing plugin, now for Linux

Simplify Media, the mother of all iTunes plugins, lets you share your iTunes collection over the net, and now works with iPhones and Linux:

The Simplify Media Mobile alpha enables you to access your entire music collection on your iPhone or iPod Touch wherever you have WiFi. You can also listen to the libraries of friends you are connected to. Because Simplify Media is the only remote music option that doesn't use Safari, you can browse the web while listening to music in the background. You can also listen to entire playlists without having to go back and re-select each song.

Caveat emptor:

The Linux version requires the WINE Windows emulator to use their software and service. Not really a Linux solution per se.

An alternative may be the excellent Firefly/mt-daapd; which can be used as a headless DAAP-compliant Linux media server to serve up music to iTunes and other DAAP-aware software and devices. It is packaged for most major Linux distributions.

I love iTunes as much as the next guy (assuming the next guy likes it well enough) but shouldn't you mention that Simplify - at least the plugin - works with Winamp as well?

I've used GNUMP3D for a while now. Works on Linux or Windows.
