Slimserver does it. Just for grins, let's go through the process: 1) from your remote location, you open WMP or whatever and connect to http://serverip:9000/stream.mp3 2) from your remote location, you open a web browser and connect to http://serverip:9000 3) In the web browser, you select the IP address you're coming from in the player dropdown 4) In the web browser, you select some music and play it. 5) For about half of the people doing this, it's choppy or you still don't hear anything, so you reduce the bitrate under Player Settings because your home connection can't sustain 320 kbps upstream. Please follow these steps and then report which one it quits working at. I might also add that steps 2 through 4 get annoying after a while, leading people to ditch this whole path and switch over to Softsqueeze on computers where they regularly plan to listen to their home music. -- Jack Coates At Monkeynoodle Dot Org: It's A Scientific Venture!
