How To: Stream in Da Noize, Stream in Da Funk

"An anonymous reader asks, "Is there a way I can broadcast music on my computer to my Pocket PC? I frequently lounge on my patio and would love a way to listen to music without needing to download the songs I want before I get outside." Based on the question, I'm assuming this particular reader has a wireless home network. Without wireless, there isn't a practical way to broadcast anything to a remote location on the premises of your homestead. Microsoft provides a reasonably simple solution for broadcasting audio and video across a home network using the free Windows Media Encoder. The initial setup requires a few steps, but you should be listening to music on the patio in a matter of minutes."
Jake Ludington and his Digital Lifestyle provide concise instructions on how to stream tunes from your PC to your Pocket PC. I've done this myself and it's a piece of cake. Has anyone else done this? Are you using some other software or method to stream in your noize and funk?
