There *are* a few Linux (and some platform-independent Java) 
DAAP-enabled programs.  Most of them seem to be pretty short on 
features (i.e., no iTunes-like interface), or they seem to be 
semi-abandonware.  However, you can probably find something that will 
at least allow you to confirm that your mfd is working.

I'm still wondering why no one has added DAAP support to some of the 
popular Linux media players, like XMMS, or any of the KDE or GNOME 
media players (amarok, JuK, Kaboodle, Noatun, Rhythmbox, etc...)

There's TunesBrowser, but it's only at v. 0.30 and too unstable to work 
(at least, it crashed on me).

There's also an alpha-quality DAAP VFS module for GNOME that can make a 
DAAP share appear as a block device under Nautilus and any other 
GNOME-enabled software (Rhythmbox), but that, too seems to be unstable.

mfd/mfe actually seem to be the most feature-rich and stable of all of 
them.
