I'm not sure what an "iTunes Server" does, but the SO & I are *very* happy
with our SlimServer from http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html
which apart from driving their own SqueezeBox hardware:
- drives a virtual SqueezeBox written in Java
- ... and anything else that will stream a playlist
- has some sort of iTunes integration (I've not investigated)
- and front-ends a lot of internet radio channels
- and runs on anything with a disk, network and Perl, including Snap NAS
  (http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=19&products_id=1039) 
- and is a free download
