ZumoCast streams all your music and movies to your iPhone or iPad
Grab both the ZumoCast server app for your computer and the mobile app for your iOS device, and you're good to go. There's nothing to configure beyond picking which folders you want to make available for streaming -- ZumoCast takes care of the rest automatically. You don't even need to do any fiddling with your router or firewall software. It's probably also worth mentioning that ZumoCast is totally free.
The app performs quite well over my Wi-Fi connection, but you'll have to tell me about how it handles things on the iPhone -- I'm stuck in an area with only an aging CDMA network to be had. I've never bothered with a streaming app before, but I think I'll be using ZumoCast quite a bit. Hey, if nothing else, I can use it to listen to all the music I don't quite have room for on my iPod.
The ZumoCast server is available for both Windows and Mac, and there are apps for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad. If you've got a ton of media on your computer at home, ZumoCast is an excellent way to enjoy it all, no matter where you are -- and the price tag is unbeatable.

airvideo only offers video they don't do audio and it doesn't let you see but only a certain amount of your stuff.

i'll probably be tryin to check this out

Never used the program you mentioned, but Zumocast is showing me EVERYTHING in the folder I selected to have stuff streamed in. Folders, movies, music, files, everything.
I have to say, this app is very impressive. No conversion or really bad buffering before playback is amazing. I can watch all my movies on my ipod now, and have all my music at my fingertips. I can't believe this app is free. If they ever come out with a premium version, I'll gladly pay for it just to support the developer.

Thanks for writing about this app, it is awesome. I think AirVideo is a little better for video (because it does live conversion), but this streams all your audio which I think is a lot more useful! This is something I have been waiting for for 2 years.
Zumoshare definitely an app worth putting on your iphone, and if you do please use my referral link: https://www.zumocast.com/referrals/dir/5ZxYTg1Zj
