    What's the best way to do this?

    I was reading into uPNP. I got a uPNP plugin for foobar2000, and got it working for streaming stuff to my phone over the local WiFi network.

    I tried to use PlugPlayer on Android to do this over the internet, couldn't get it to work though.

    Does Winamp for Android do this? It says you can wirelessly sync with your PC, but that sounds like it downloads all your music to the phone, I just want to use my phone to browse a list of music on my PC at home, and stream whichever one I pick to the phone.

    Subsonic seems to do a pretty good job, and has a streaming app for Android/iPhone or just plain old web browser.

    Nice program. I know the android app is free but it says the windows program is a trial? Is it a time based trial or is it missing some features?

    Audiogalaxy is the best software for this. The pc host software is tiny and the Android client is great.
    Configuration free setup with perfect results.

    Try "Amdroid", a client for Ampache on Android. Works flawlessly.
