Streaming Music

So I've been contemplating how to go about streaming music from my HP Proliant server running Win2K13. It seems a wise idea considering my server is running pretty much 24/7.

Now I'm curious who here is doing the same? If so, can I ask what application you're using? After a little surfing around, I came across Subsonic. Has anyone got any experience using this service? Is it the application of choice?

Any input would be much appreciated.

Ideally, I was looking to stream from my works laptop as well as my Android phone. Subsonic states it supports Android and I'm sure I could get my hands on the client application to run on Windows 7.

I was just curious on peoples thoughts on Subsonic? Do people use it with their servers or is there something more popular out there that I should be considering instead?

I have a whole load of music that I'd love to stream from both my phone at laptop whilst at work. I recently canceled my subscription to Spotify and I've been lacking tunes in recent weeks. It would be nice if I could get myself an alternative service using all my stored music instead.

In all honesty, I don't want anything to do with Google. Their not a service that I advocate for a number of reasons, but hey, that's another story for another time.

I'll read a little more into Subsonic once I get home from work!

Thanks very much for the heads up guys! I never got a minute to myself over the weekend but I'll be certainly looking further into Subsonic. Why I've not considered streaming my music at home until now, I'll never know?!
