If the music you want to listen to is on your PC, then this is a great option. Actually, anyone can install the server software (it is free/open source) and then log on to you home PC from anywhere and listen to your collection, using most media players (I've used Foobar200, Media Player Classic and tested with Windows Media Player). It allows you to set the bitrate of the stream (it uses LAME if any transcoding is required). For free, you can't beat the price.
