I use option 4 (DLNA) quite beautifully for streaming both music AND video to my phone/tablet/PS3 and tablet within wi-fi range in my house.

My setup is: PC MediaTomb running on Ubuntu-linux (If you run Windows, I'm sure there are alternatives)

Tablet / Phone: uPNPuPNPlay (free on Google Play) linked to your favorite media player

Pros:

  • All media sits on one machine
  • All my devices (phone, tablet PS3*) can stream media from that location
  • Secure over encrypted network
  • No bandwidth issues

Cons:

  • My PC has to be on 24/7.

*PS3 only recognises some divX codecs
