+mt-daapd is a program which acts as an iTunes (DAAP) server for Linux
+and other POSIX unixes. It may eventually support Win32 as well.
+
+Some random features that it supports:
+Supports the Roku SoundBridge (query/browse/index support)
+Supports periodic rescans of the database
+Can advertise shoutcast streams
+Supports password-protected shares
+Is web-configurable and managable
+Support dynamic playlists, like iTunes "Smart playlists"
+Probably other things I've forgotten
+
+All is not perfect, however. Currently, there are several drawbacks to it:
+database is indexed by inode, so all music must be on one filesystem
+browse by artist is slow on Roku, times out (with large databases ~10K songs)
+Probably other things I've forgotten
