A client to consume the private broadcast.

Software to access/control your home desktop.Two pieces in place on the work (client) side: A way to consistently access your ever-changing home IP address.You’ll need two pieces in place at the network layer (router): A tool to broadcast music emanating from iTunes over the internet.Securely enable access and control of your home desktop from outside of your home LAN.
To get this working, you’ll need two pieces in place on the home (server) side: In other words, you’ll be listening through iTunes at work, but you’ll be listening to a “radio station.” To skip tracks, create or switch playlists, rate tracks, or do anything interesting, you’ll need to be able to control your home computer from work. Playback Control: A VNC client or Apple’s Screen Sharing.Audio Consumption: Broadcast a personal “radio station” from the remote (home) iTunes and subscribe to that stream from the local (work) iTunes.And, in my experience, those streaming services only have about half the music in my collection – if I want to listen to my music from work, this is the only option. So what if you just want to be able to listen to music on a Mac at home from work? It is possible, but it’ll take some setup work, and 60 bucks (which is one-time fee, and money you won’t have to pay to Apple, Pandora, rdio, MOG or Spotify). Apple won’t take my money to solve this problem.
It’s the answer to my prayers, but off-limits. Shame, too – I’d happily pay 2x or 3x the subscription price to get Match working. For those of us with legit collections of 50k or 75k tracks, Match isn’t an option. Of course, iTunes Match is meant to solve exactly this problem, but Match has a fatal flaw that makes it unusable by the people who need it the most – its 25,000 song limit. You may have no intention of sharing your music collection with the world, or of running your own little public radio station from home, but you simply can’t connect to an iTunes library from another network. It’s a well-known bummer that the iTunes “Share” feature only works over your local LAN.
