I have my own very basic site that I build mainly using Jalbum and then tweaking the layout a bit.

I was wondering if anything existed that's like Jalbum but for making a media streaming site/server.

I'd just like to be able to stream my full music collection for my own personal use so I could just go to my site while at work and listen to it.

I'd be nice to have basic playlist functionality.

You could install orb on your computer. It will stream your collection through a web interface.

There's also the webguide plugin for media center.

I've used orb and webguide but prefer vibestreamer, vibe allows you to add a folder of music to share and keeps the layout which I like with my collection because everything is in folders by artist.

years back i used slimserver, which was awesome, let you browse, choose playlists, add to current playlists etc.

its now called squeezecenter, no idea how good it is anymore though. worth a shot though

edit: http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_features.html

and it says it does exactly what you need

Remote Streaming SqueezeCenter can stream your music collection over the Internet to a software player such as Winamp or iTunes. Now you can easily listen at work to your music collection stored at home without moving files.
