Is there a Sonos style player out there that can play iTunes music files that is RS-232 or IP controllable? All I need is to be able to play audio files in one zone or area of a building.
Thanks.

sounds about right.

I am a little wary of the AppleTV route incase of a firmware update that kills the control functionality. If I need their MMS-2 box to make this work reliably, then that's fine.

Will the MMS-2 see the new content 'as soon as they add an audio file in iTunes by any method?' Or do you have to tell the MMS-2 to re-index the library before it will see the new content?
Just as an FYI, you have to re-index the library on the Sonos before it will see the new content as well. This can be triggered manually through the Sonos interface, or can be setup to happen on a fixed schedule.

Autonomic is the best bet and my preferred player as it's self contained.
If you have a PC or Mac that is always on and managing the iTunes, you could use any of the Logitech Squeezeboxes in their varied flavors, it just requires that you have the Squeezebox server running either on a dedicated rig, or a NAS.

Autonomic has a client program called 'Mirage Media Sync' that you would run on the PC's or Mac's that house the iTunes libraries that you would load music into.
(PS forgot to mention in my earlier post that Autonomic supports multiple iTunes music libraries, a rarely used but very cool feature)
I find that a single song updates within a few minutes at worst, and if you're importing a huge amount of data/songs it can take a little while, but it will do it without any outside intervention.

The squeezebox, plus the controlworks module works faily well. You will need either a dedicated PC, or a ReadyNAS as the squeezecenter talking to the crestron, and the ReadyNAS in turn connects with the squeezebox. A little clunky sometimes, but tons of potential for a power user. A Request would work as well, they have actually turned a new leaf recently, and I actually think they are doing it right now.
