A streaming server would require some work in installation/setup on the server, which I am not willing to do. I would prefer the client-only solution, if there is one, since I expect it to be much simpler (both conceptually and in practice).
Try out subsonic - it's fantastic. Dead easy to setup, and there are clients available for many, many different platforms. You can even just use the web interface to listen to your music.
Bonus: it also lets you stream your videos!

I have it running on an OpenMediaVault server (I have OMV virtualized via KVM). OpenMediaVault is probably the best Linux based NAS distro out there.
