Way to share my music throughout the house/around campus?
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?

itunes...shares across local networks. easiest by far.
otherwise, you might need to write a custom p2p client that only looks at certain IP addresses.

A bog standard ftp client like guild or caesar... set it up and people can type: ftp://yourip and gain access. If you want you can also restrict some files to people you want to give them to with usernames and passwords.

set up a playlist in advance, and make it a streaming radio station. i don't think it's too hard to set up. you couldn't control what song came next, unless you had remote login. frankly, a portable hard drive may be the easy way out.
