If you are in an area with a lot of people using wireless routers you and they can sometimes be getting the same signal. Where I live there are 584 other units in the complex and at any given time there are at least one other wifi network open. If either network are open you and or others will see play lists from other computers. One of the new features of I tunes 9 is the ability to share Itunes content from all the computers in my "home network". I have four macs and all have differing content from movies, music and pod casts. Since I neither have the time of desire to duplicate itunes libraries on all those macs I just turn on sharing between the macs I want to use. For example, the computer in my bedroom has a lot of old-time radio on it. If I want to sit in my recliner in the living room and listen to say "Dragnet" I just turn on sharing in my bedroom and living room, relax and enjoy.
In the case of music, whole songs are played and any music I purchase can be copies and sent to any of the computers in my home. Sadly though, this can't be said for music you already own you have to burn that stuff and then take it to others machines. Maybe someday sharing will include "private collections". Another added feature in Itunes 9 is one that allows someone to bring their computer into my home and share purchased music like the new Beatles collection, which is on order. I can't wait to hear it in its entirety. If you have questions, I might have answers even if I'm not Radio Shack.
