The app StreamToMe.

A couple of years ago, I found this app to help my band teacher share his music files with his students, now I use it to help students read along with the printed book and to save my teachers from losing their voices by 10 a.m.   

Use StreamToMe on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to play *video*, *music* and *photo* files streamed over WiFi or Cellular from any Mac or Windows PC running the free ServeToMe server (download free from http://zqueue.com/servetome). No prior conversion or syncing required (huge number of formats supported without conversion) just tap the file and it plays. Play on your device or via AirPlay or TV out cables, turning your iPhone/iPod/iPad into a mobile media player for all your computer's files.

I use this app and the service to stream .mp3 audio books to students using the iPad.
I download the audio book to a designated folder on my macbook, that I share using ServeToMe, the kids open the StreamToMe App on their iPad and the folder and files are there and can be accessed no matter what type of multimedia files they are (ServeToMe works with a lot of different file formats).
