Sure, I do this all the time. Some of the music in my collection was 'ripped' from YouTube videos.

VLC can also both generate and consume a stream. If you've got the inclination to learn the geek skills a raspberry pi and some external storage could set up your own private streaming service in your house and stream to all of your clients.
I want to know more. I have a MacBook and an android phone, both with 1/8" headphone jacks. How can VLC allow me to access my library (300G or so) using either device, without having to store my library ON the devices. Neither of them will hold 300G.

I think there is a device I can get which hooks to my router, and allows full library access from any place that has wifi. I am really technology-dumb.
