Recommend a personal media server?

[yther]

What are folks using to make their personal audio collections useful from remote locations?

I've got a fairly large (in my terms) collection of self-ripped OGG files that I would like to be able to listen to from work. I have few requirements, and those are:

• Can use encryption or SSH tunnel without trouble.
  
• Resilient enough to buffer in case torrents are causing lots of network traffic.
  
• Can serve my files up at will so I can play what I want to on demand.
  
• Can be used from Windows.
  

Basically I would like to listen to my music at home, while I am work, with the same ease of use you'd find in something like Amarok or Winamp. Is this possible?

Thanks for any recommendations!

Ampache, it's in portage. I use it daily. I have tried Jinzora, which has a nicer interface, but Ampache is update much more frequently and it just works.

Check it out.

You should setup QOS on your internet connection for best results, otherwise there is no guarantee.

Just so you have a bit of choice there's also MediaTomb.
