Just tried this, it seems, well, pretty perfect.

I can now listen to my music from any computer and (when I get a droid) anywhere I want. I was trying to do something similar using port forwarding from my ReadyNAS but it was so slow. This is instant.

The quality is also pretty great, I can't tell the difference between streaming an mp3 and listening to it from my HDD, though I am listening through Koss Portapros at the office right now.

I like the idea of having all my music accessible anywhere, especially since it's too big for an iPod (300gb+). I was thinking of waiting for Windows Phone 7 and then using Zune Pass to pull similar music from the cloud, but that's an extra $15 a month. This is free!

Again, this seems awesome, are there any similar programs/sites I could also try?

Ah... that's an interesting one. If your NAS has a Web browser, and Flash, you could stream with Audiogalaxy...

I hadn't thought of that -- and I have a NAS!

Well I just mounted the NAS to a drive letter, then pointed Audiogalaxy to it via simple file browser, it could not have been easier.

This was a huge contrast to programs like Mozy or Windows Live Folder Sync, which refuse to recognize NAS entirely.

Hehe, the whole point would be to have your NAS streaming the music -- so you can turn your desktop off while you're out of the house :P
