New technologies are making it easier to stream our music, video, photos and multimedia from one machine to another in our homes. There are a variety of ways we can control where we see and hear our media from. Now technology allows us to play music from our mp3 players through the computer, or video from our mobile phones on our televisions.

 Some of the most popular ways to transfer media from one outlet to another is through DNLA gadgets. Companies including mobile manufacturer Nokia and electronics firm Sony are using this service to connect gadgets that are "DNLA Certified." For example, using DNLA allows users to stream music from Nokia's N95 and N96 mobile phones through Sony televisions with the touch of a button.

 According to a report in the Telegraph, users can also share media through the Apple AirPort Express. The hub allows you to stream music and video from the company's iTunes media player through speakers throughout your home. Fans of the company's iPhone 3G or iPods can also stream music from their devices through their computers.

In addition to those products, gaming consoles including the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 also work as home media centres, as they are capable of streaming music and photos from PC and Mac computers. In addition, they also play high-definition Blu-ray DVD's, and the Xbox allows users to purchase on-demand movie downloads.

Setting up home streaming is easy, and allows users to connect with their favourite songs, photos and videos whenever and wherever they like. With data accessible through a variety of consoles and systems, users are sure to continue streaming their digital media.
