Have a look at NetJuke--Nice web-based app that does streaming and makes a good effort at organizing by artist, album name, category, etc.

I've been using netjuke for over a year, it streams mp3's and other audio files. I think video might be in it's future. Check it out http://www.netjuke.org/. I use it under linux, but works just as easily under windows.

Wired or wireless shouldn't make any difference, as you can use a wireless to ethernet bridge for any "wired" device. I had my house built within the past year, and made sure every room was wired. Here is what I used to get music to every room:
xbox media center Optical out, lots of other options.
Rio receiver running yarrs I have been using this for years, just a small device to play mp3's off of the network. You can hook speakers up to it directly or just use it as a component.
qcast lets you stream mp3's to your playstation 2. Not as useful or functional as the xbox media center.
netjuke this let's me stream music to any other computer in a nice and tidy web interface.

you can also go with a squeezebox but I have no experience with it. The rio is much less expensive.

I've used NetJuke in the past. It can either stream over a network or be used to control a player on the server.

Check out NetJuke.

...in the hazy morning after the last Napster orgy, many of us started to think about what we'd done, and went back to buying CDs again.

Personally, I have downloaded a total of about 5 songs in the last 2 years, these days I just buy -> grip -> ipod everything.

The whole downloading thing was a great way to introduce everyone to the idea of digitizing their music and better ways of bringing it into the car (how many CDs have you trashed in your car?), around the house (I use Netjuke to share all of my CDs throughout the house and at work), and pretty much everywhere we go.

I think it's also got to do with the fact that the novelty has worn off.

I did it with my 400+ CDs (which is nothing compared to some people) because I wanted the convenience of being able to make playlists for listening to music at home (using Netjuke) without having to contstantly get up and change CDs. The benefits make up for the few weeks of tediousness.

It came in handy again once I bought an iPod because I don't have to individually rip CDs as I decided I want to bring them with me, it's already done. Getting into the habit of ripping CDs as soon as I buy them is no problem now that the stuff I already have is done.

Netjuke is great for cataloging and streaming you mp3s over the net. www.netjuke.org

Have a look at NetJuke - it's a very well GPL'ed streaming Jukebox for your mp3's.

Better than Andromeda? Don't really know - but it's free...
