iTunes substitute (with network streaming)

[jhansman]

Hi all-
I'm looking for a substitute for iTunes that will stream my collection and radio to my wired receiver, just as iTunes does. Does such an program exist? Thus far, I've tried Songbird, Winamp, etc. to handle my library, but none of these have any streaming capabilities. TIA.

Dunno about the streaming, as I don't use it, but these are good, andpopular players on GNU/Linux, and they also have Windows clients...

I would say VLC, but I don't care for it as a music player. The interface doesn't suit me, but maybe you'd like it better. It originally started as a streaming server.

Jriver Media Center. It's not free but it is by far the best music player/organizer in my opinion. Supports DNLA streaming.

Thanks. Will give these a try. My receiver is DLNA compliant, so J River may be just the ticket.

J River worked like a charm, thanks.

Media Monkey can act as a DLNA server.
