RE: Remote Streaming

Streaming out of your home has securities issues as it exposes your server to the world. In addition, many home users have slow upload speeds, so streaming decent quality may be impractical. You are also putting a load on your work network, and the network administrators may not appreciate this, especially if lots of people start doing this.

Keep a second hard drive at work. It can serve a dual purpose: allow you to listen to your music library and serve as an offsite backup. Use file sync software to keep the two drives synchronized. It will take only a few minutes to scan your two drives and determine what needs to be copied. Copying can be fast as it can be done locally.
