That's odd.  I play lots of music via NFS as well as samba mounted disk 
at work. I havent had a problem.  I am a couple of router hops away, it 
is only a 100 mbit line,  and I am competing with a large quatity of 
other traffic.

what is your network like?   switch or hub?  wires or wireless? what is 
your server like?

certainly rsyncing your files locally and running that will avoid the 
problem. I dont think your problem is inherently NFS.
