Streaming iTunes from Mac to Mac

Question

First, a Happy New Year to you all!
I'm not sure if this is asked before, I couln't find a post. This is the thing: One of my favorite things to do on my Mac is to stream music from an iMac to my Airport Express with connected speakers. Now I wonder if it is also possible to stream my music to other Macs in my house, preferably without any additional software than iTunes.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Best regards,
Corné.

From the iTunes Help File:
"Sharing your iTunes library across computers
If your computer is connected to other computers over a local network, you can share items in your library and playlists with up to five of those computers (in the same subnet).
To share your library with other computers:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Sharing, and select “Share my library on my local network.”
Select the items you want to share.
To require users to enter a password before they can see your shared items, select “Require password” and enter a password.
For others to see your shared items, your computer must be on and iTunes must be open.
If you choose to share your entire library, its name appears in the iTunes window (below Shared) on other local computers (in the same subnet) set up to look for shared libraries. To change the name others see, choose iTunes > Preferences, click General, and type a new name in the Library Name field.
You can share movies; MP3, Apple Lossless, AIFF, WAV, and AAC files; and radio station links; you can’t share programs purchased from Audible.com or QuickTime sound files.
Sharing is intended for personal use only."
Hope this works for you. I thought you were supposed to be making Oliebollen today, not playing with computers.
