You can run a media server on your PC, share the appropriate folders from within the software, and browse the shares from the appropriate tab in the PS3 XMB.

The one I like to use is PS3 media server. http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/
It works fairly well with little configuration and will transcode most video files (as long as you have a beefy enough PC), for music, it should stream those with no problem as long as you aren't trying to play DRM enabled files like itunes purchases.
