Music Player Daemon - mpd - is a small Linux utillity that does most of this.
It is a small music player runs as a service on a linux machine (RPi worked for me when testing) which can be controlled through a remote control app or desktop program.
It needs access to your music library, so look into sharing it, possibly through NFS, or set up a copy of your music library on local storage in the RPi.
I am a bit concerned about how well it would work with a shared solution, I know that some systems might lock open files preventing other clients from using them, but that is nothing I have tested.
