[iTunes] iTunes network problem

[David Wilson]

I'm setting up an iTunes server for a sound design class- putting  
about 80 cd's worth of sound effects
cd's available for the students to listen to and decide what they  
need for the project their working on.

I just tried it out today and hit a snag - I knew there was a limit  
of 5 simultaneous connections
(there are 8 in the class, I was going to set up 2 separate identical  
hard drives on 2 separate networked
computers). But the message that came up when I tried to connect on a  
6th computer that
there is a limit of 5 networked users PER DAY. Is there any way  
around this? This makes administration of
this much tougher, and prone to many headaches that I don't need.
Or is there another shareware app that would let users see and listen  
to iTunes over the network
without this roadblock. Even better - would allow them to download  
the track to their computer to work with after they
audition it.
