New Setup Instructions - Using Subsonic
- Google subsonic, download and install the software (you should contribute some $ for the server version)
- If you have an Android phone they have an app for that on Market. For iPhone they have a free app and a paid app called iSub. For $5 its worth it.
- rip music collection to mp3 format or m4a. (ya probably already have this in iTunes; if they are in m4a format you are ok; if its in m4p then its protected file format and subsonic cannot use)
- In subsonic setup select the music folders you will share from your mp3/m4a/iTunes collection
- setup username(s) and password(s) for you
- setup the port in subsonic for the music to be shared on (currently mine is 8081)
- Setup the server hosting subsonic software to a fixed ip address (I used 192.168.1.222) 
- open firewall port for outgoing music stream
        - if the server that has subsonic is running on is 192.168.1.222 then on your router go to port  forwarding. Enter 192.168.1.222 and enter port 8081.
- use another computer to test the subsonic (http://192.168.1.222:8081)
Now you can stream music to any computer internally and externally (if you know your external ip address [alternatively you can setup your server to have a named address (details of this are in the dynamic dns blog post of mine)]
