i have created debian backports to etch of current versions of mpd, rtorrent and mt-daapd and the dependencies needed to build / install them.

add

deb http://lefant.net/debian/ etch-backports main

to your /etc/apt/sources.list in case you are interested.

mt-daapd and rhythmbox are a great pair to store music on one computer and play on another, with little configuration on the server and none on the client, by the magic of zeroconf! highly recommended. should also work with itunes and other stuff from apple.
