iTunes has long been a platform which has allowed users to stream music from shared playlists on the LAN, but Apple has ensured that streaming music is securly fastened to the computer in which it resides. Even when you are not listening to AACs bought via the iTMS, iTunes does not provide the interface to actually transfer music between computers. This limitation has, of course, opened up the market for numerous programmers who have come up with various ways to truly share the tunes. Enter Blue Coconut, a simple utility which enables you to copy tracks stored in shared libraries from computer to computer.

If you’ve been looking for a utility which automates the process of really sharing playlists, look no further.
