How to Connect a PS3 Wirelessly to iTunes on a PC

People are always striving to connect all of their network-enabled devices to a single source for their media-streaming needs. One such example is the desire to connect a PS3 wirelessly to iTunes on a PC. The idea is that by streaming from a single source, users do not have to store copies of the files on each device they own. This saves valuable space and doing it wirelessly keeps your entertainment area clutter-free. The solution to this problem is setting up a media server on your PC to handle all of the dirty work.
