Sockso might be an alternative.  I tried it briefly when it came on a
recent LFX coverdisc (last month?) and was rather impressed with the
implemetation.

Summary from the home page:

  "Sockso is a free, open-source, personal music server for everyone!
It's designed to be as simple as possible so that anyone with a mouse
and some mp3's can get their friends listening to their music across
the internet in seconds!"
