Default App idea: Simple share music server (wifi)

Hey all.

How about a simple music server for the G1 that uses a windows compatible file sharing system? (smb?)

I am always at a loss for music to listen to on my laptop, but my G1 has about 10 gigs of music on it.. it would be great to have an app that shared this out simply, and allowed my windows box to browse the contents of the phone without having to tether via usb.

By the by, I'm available to any developers out there who need animation / graphics for Android apps / games. Get in touch via my website at cartoonmonkey dot com.

That would completely rape your battery, you'd need to have it plugged in after an hour or two. Why not just use a USB cord?

If there's anyone doing the opposite of this, and wants to listen to music on their G1 that's stored on the PC, check out five: http://code.google.com/p/five/

Unfortunately there's only a Linux server atm.

Use Orb.com works great for me, can view my web cam, open any picture, most videos, and get all the music from it.
