Wireless connecting to play music

[Sam Albers]

Hello there,

I am having a little trouble figuring something out and I was just hoping
that someone might point me in the right direction. I am sure that there is
a tutorial somewhere on how to do this but I can't seem to find it.

Here is what I was hoping to do: I have an older machine that I am not using
and I would like to use it as a wireless music box. That is, I would like to
be able to be sitting on the couch with my main machine and be able to
control my music wirelessly. So I am envisioning the older machine having
all the music files on it and being able to somehow connect to that machine
which presumably would be running Ubuntu. The older machine, connect
wirelessly to my router, would be plugged into my stereo while the other
machine would not (although also connected wireless to the router). Also, if
possible I would like to be able to connect using not only my Ubuntu machine
but other computers running different OSes (Mac, Windows, etc). Can anyone
recommend a decent way to accomplish this?

I am running the newest version of Ubuntu on both machines right now.

Thanks in advance!

Sam
