MediaRover is a free app that syncs iTunes libraries across up to eight Windows or Mac machines. That means songs you add to one machine's library will be available on your other machines, and any changes you make to iTunes playlists or metadata (like song names or track numbers) will be synced, too. If you've got a NAS or a streaming music device, like a Sonos, Squeezebox, or Blu-ray player, MediaRover will work with that, too. (Xbox 360 or PS3 owners, take note: your networked game system can also access your shared MediaRover library.)
Setup requires you to download an app (for Windows or Mac), sign up for a (free) account, and then copy all of your music to a shared folder on the network. Other computers on your network can piggyback on the first computer's settings, too, saving you a bit of time. All in all, it's a pretty quick and simple solution for cloudifying your tunes.
Minor MediaRover quibbles: it doesn't work with any dynamic playlists, like Smart or Genius playlists, and it doesn't recognize duplicates as well as iTunes does. If you've got duplicate tracks with different filenames, MediaRover treats them as different songs and syncs both. It's kind of annoying, unless you groom your library very carefully.
