+1. I use iTunes because it has a convenient and reliable interface for (a) controller my music playback remotely and (b) playing music to wireless remote speakers. I have AirPlay Express units in the garage, on the porch / fire pit, and in the living room wired through 20W car audio amplifiers with various low cost speakers.
I've tried a couple of other setups, but nothing I've tried has the convenience and consistency of iTunes. Unfortunately, that ties me in to iTunes for all of my music, which kind of sucks. I can't, say, play Pandora on the central machine and have it broadcast out to everything.
