You should check out Netjuke for managing your music library - http://netjuke.sourceforge.net/ It's all web based, so you don't need any iTunes software - just a browser and an mp3 player app! Developed in PHP and was mainly written for MySQL, but I believe it supports other DB software.
Just hook up one of those cheap laptops in any room, plug some speakers in to it, browse to your Netjuke server on your local network, and play away!
I've been using this for a couple of years and it's been awesome. It's also good for sharing music with communities - it has different levels of security that the administrator can set up. Once you get Netjuke up and running, all of the administration is via the Netjuke interface.
Build custom playlists, play all tracks in genre randomly, see the latest artists and albums that have been added to the DB, and much much more!
Also, Netjuke's music importer reads in the ID3 tags in mp3s, which makes it very fast and easy to get all of your music info into the Netjuke database.
