Wifi music streaming app?

[LoveMachine]

Greetings, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to smartphones, but I just got an HTC One w/ Sprint, and I'd like to be able to use it as a music player around the house. Rather than storing files on the phone, I'd rather be able to sync it over wifi to my music collection on my win7 PC (I use iTunes and WMC as libraries) since most of the music is stored in ALAC or FLAC format (too big to keep an entire library on the phone). In browsing Google Play, it seems the most popular players can sync over wifi, but all the media is actually downloaded onto the phone's SD card. That would take forever to transfer and would eat up too much storage. I know Win7 can push media to devices wirelessly, but how does it work the other way around? My Onkyo AVR can do this, so there must be a way using a smartphone. Any suggestions?

You could try something like Subsonic.

There's also Google Play music.

Look into DLNA.

(1) Set up a DLNA server on your PC. Actually, I think WMC has one built in, but it sucks. I highly recommend Serviio.
(2) Download BubbleUPnP to your One. Buy the $5 license.

You can now either play straight to the One or use your One to send files to your AVR. Pick the appropriate Renderer under the Devices bottom tab to switch playback devices -- "Local Renderer" is the phone. Paying for Bubble also lets you use your phone to redirect your cloud collection on Google Music -- yes, including All Access if you have it -- to your AVR.
