That's a good point mrm, but anyone who connects to my shared music will have my IP anyway (mouse over my shared music image in my sig and you'll see it there). I have my Firewall on - that was the whole point of creating a new protected port for iTunes. Obviously a determined user could probablty get around OSX's firewall, but the odds are low they'd find anything interesting or useful on my computer, never mind the fact that most people's computers get "pinged" by hundreds of hackers every day.
