Share Music Within ITunes and Winamp

From Eliot Van Buskirk, Wired:

Looking for a good way to share music with your friends without a lot of hassle? Simplify Media (free) opens up iTunes and/or Winamp, so that you and your friends can listen to -- but not download -- the unprotected AAC, MP3, WMA, and Apple Lossless music in each others' playlists.

As for the legality issue, the company tackles that thusly:

Is this legal? Yes. Music is streamed friend-to-friend, and only within small, private groups. There are limits to how many friends can be on your Media List and how many listeners can concurrently stream music from your computer. Friends cannot burn remote songs to CDs, transfer them to an iPod or MP3 player, or access them when you are logged off.

Copyright holders might have a different take on this, but should take solace in the fact that no downloading occurs over the program. I suppose that if you really wanted to, you could use Winamp's wave-out DLL to record streams of your friends music onto your computer, but it'd be a lot easier to use BitTorrent for that anyway.
