Have you tried running Slimserver on the box with the music 
files? You can download Slimserver software from 
slimdevices.com, as well as clients for the server.

You can integrate the slim client with Myth, so that it shows up 
in the Myth frontend menu.

You can control the Slimserver either via the client software 
(with a remote or keyboard) or via a web interface.
