What Software Should I Use For A Home Media Server?

I have 7 computers. (I have 5 roommates that i rent rooms to). I have over 70000 mp3’s that need to go into a library on the server and as the library on the main server updates, the rest of the computers need to reflect. I tried ITunes……it works OK but it doesn’t meet expectations. I would like to use a UPnP client that will utiize the sharing server of windows media player 11. It says you have to have windows vista on the client computers but i’m sure there is backend software that can also do this as the other computers aren’t ready for windows vista vs my two.

   this is really easy:
   put your songs in the shared folder..
   then on each PC go on My PC , menu tools.. map drive … map the shard folder as a new hard drive on each PC and that it .. every time you add a song in your server the will get the song in their Virtual HD .. ..
   i hope this can give you a good idea about how to do it…
