Jacob:

I'd be curious if you have ever tried using the Squeezebox system
(www.slimdevices.com).  There is a perl-based server and a java-based
client (as well as hardware clients, if you want to purchase them).  I
can't find it now, but I believe in the past they have claimed success
with music libraries in the 100s of thousands of titles.
