I'm currently using banshee-daap 0.11.5 and it gives me a nice message that iTunes7 is not supported. I'de like to say this is not a "fix" for the problem as I still can not access the shares. The daap protocol needs to be updated so this works.

I went on IRC the the banshee channel and basically got "This will never work" and "tell your friends the badness of DRM and have them switch." So should I tell them to switch and be in the same boat I'm it, a broken non-functional sinking (more people are switching to iTunes7) boat?

I know DRM is bad, you either go with it (and put the time in to reverse engineer the protocol) or make no progress forward (who would switch to a system that have less functionality.)

So as a user friendly desktop Ubuntu should keep this bug open and put pressure up-stream to truly FIX the problem (not our fault, but its our problem!)
