I have my music collection completely ripped off to my harddrive and am looking for a way to share it. I would like to be able to listen to it at work, on different machines around the house, or even at a friends house. Right now I have a Winamp Shoutcast server setup and running, which, combined with a web control for Winamp works OK, but things could definitely be better. Is there any way to do this? What I would really like would be an access restricted way to just view the files--think Samba but without the "same username/password" caveat: and I cant use Samba anyways, because the music all resides on an NTFS formatted drive running on a windows box, and for many reasons, will remain that way.

Any ideas on an easy, effective, and access restricted way to do this?
