If you want to use smb, then you need to install smbfs.  Then you can mount the smb share specifying -t cifs in the mount syntax.

Someone else mentioned autofs, you can use autofs with smbfs to automatically detect and remount a share.  autofs will also avoid errors when you logoff the frontend or shut it down and the smb mount hasn't been unmounted first.

Works great.  I haven't used it to stream music, just copy large video recordings from my notebook to my server.  Should be more than able to handle music though.
