I'd recommend using Amazon's MP3 player then streaming from the cloud. It does have the ability to take changes based on your iTunes library (or WMP) and sync only those changes and once it's all uploaded you can grab it from anywhere.

For direct streaming if Amazon's MP3 player isn't an option, you may want to look at Plex. Plex is nice because it manages transcoding and doesn't require a cloud upload first. There was a recent write up on Lifehacker here...

A friend of mine uses Orb and likes it.

Plex is nice great for TV / Movies you have stored too.

Thanks guys. I tried out AudioGalaxy and it seems pretty good, I didn't even have to tell it where to find my music and I just came back up to see that it discovered 4500 songs, even from folders on my desktop. Lots of stuff I don't want, but it's cool that it found all of that.

Have a look into DoubleTwist and AirSync.

Also, Splashtop remote is pretty good at doing remote desktop AND streaming all audio & video from your PC.
