Samba is probably the "best" way of going about it. It is what I used
to do at home.
However, take a look at gnump3d (http://www.gnump3d.org). It is what
I am using now.
I took my favorite songs off of CDs and made a compilation CD of .ogg
files. Then I set up gnump3d to use the CD as it's home directory.
So now I can listen to my songs either in my office on Linux & XMMS,
or using my wife's Win98 machine using WinAmp. I think it will
accomplish your goal with a lot less fiddling around than Samba will
require. (Although Samba does have other advantages - sharing files &
printers, etc.)
Cheers,
James
