Isn't open source grand? It's so rare in life that you get something useful for free. Sure, there's love and happiness and all those little trivial things, but lets see you try to stream music across a network using nothing but emotions. Not possible, we've tried. However, where pointless human feelings fail, open source succeeds once again. SlimDevices has a nifty little program that will basically give you all the features of AirTunes, but without the cost. The program, SlimServer, is available for is available for OS X, Windows and Linux, and comes in enough languages to keep people happy.

There's a pretty good little step-by-step process for using it to stream music on your network here. It's easy to follow and detailed enough to give you a good idea what to do for pretty much any OS. It shouldn't take you too long to get set up and try it out. Or maybe it will take you a long time. But that's ok, we're not here to judge. Just because you're a little slow doesn't mean you're not a valuable and important person. So what if everytime you try to go through a pull door you push on it, you're still ok. Just a little dimmer than the rest of the class. But honestly, if you can't handle these steps, put on a pair of overalls with no shirt on underneath, back away from the computer, and never come back.
