The Tao of Mac
DAAP is the iTunes Digital Audio Access Protocol, and is essentially an HTTP-like -like mechanism to serve music files over TCP/IP on TCP port 3689.
DAAP servers usually advertise themselves using Bonjour, so any port can be used provided the announcement follows the _daap.tcp. schema.

Tunneling DAAP over SSH and broadcasting a Bonjour service:
Taken from this hint:
#!/bin/bash
dns-sd -P "name of server" _daap._tcp local 3690 localhost 127.0.0.1 &
PID=$!
ssh -N [email protected] -L 3690:localhost:3689
kill $PID
