Orb-like media streaming for Mac OS X (or Linux)?

I don’t know Orb, but it’s description on Wikipedia sounds similar to what I can do using Apple’s DAAP protocol: stream music from my Xubuntu Linux computer to my mother’s Ubuntu Linux computer using the Rhythmbox media player. The protocol is also used in iTunes I believe.

I have heard of a program called Hamachi for Mac that would let you stream music and other media by way of a VPN. I don’t know if it’s free though.

VLC (www.videolan.org) has streaming functionality. It doesn’t have a web interface or reencoding (that I know of), though. You might also look for something that uses UPnP.

check out http://ootunes.com server runs on windows or mac, and plays in any flash enabled web-browser… and the iphone/ipod touch. Also lets you listen to Pandora, lastfm, seeqpod, lala, etc. on the iphone.

cool…thanks

There is now a linux version of ooTunes, fyi.
