I've read people suggesting ftp, 4media (guess it never was released?), and other things, I just don't know which is better than the other. If you guys have had any success or have any input I'd love to hear it.
I haven't finished reading the whole thread yet, but...
If it's only/mostly music you are interested in, there is always
Ampache.
It's a PHP application with MySQL backend, that. so it runs on most systems (Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.). There are apps for most phone devices, even though they are not always perfect.
Atm, I'm running it on my Debian server, listening to music from my Android phone with the App Lullaby or Amdrpoid, for iPhone there is iAmpache, and something else for Blackberry.
You can listen through Web interface too, and there are some apps, for desktop to.
Lullaby is availible on the Market up to version 2.2 of Android, otherwise need to compile and install it manually.
iAmpache does not support streaming of 3g atm because of previsous restrictions from Apple. No one has cared to correct this since that restriction was lifted.
Unfortunately it does not have the functionallity for video, which I am looking for my self too.
