How to stream iTunes via all my computers?

Here is what I got:

#1 Windows XP laptop in basement
#2 Macbook Air in Kitchen
#3 Apple TV in living room
Ipad 2

From the Ipad and XP machine I can turn on music in basement and in the living room.
From the Ipad and macbook I can turn on music in kitchen and living room.

I want to be able to control the music in the kitchen, living room and basement from Ipad, XP and Macbook. Meaning I can have one song playing in all 3 locations and I can adjust the volume on all 3 without switching between systems.

also side note question, can i get it to stream to my ipad?

Check!

I can play music from all devices, but there is a little icon at the bottom right that let's me choose what speakers to output too. My only option is the machine I'm on and the apple tv, can I also output to another machine?

there is an app, but i cant remember what it is called. someone will have to chime in here.

rob, are you thinking of AirFoil?

wow I have been looking for a program that does this for the passed week. Glad I came across this post.

Curious, have you tried it?

The idea of it is that i'll be able to "push" music to the other network computers speakers?
