Streaming MP3s on Demand?

The Human Cow asks: "My computer teacher lets us listen to music while we code, but the 150 MB network drive limit kind of puts a damper on the variety of music I have access to. CDs and MP3 players are too much of a hassle to keep up with, so I started wondering if there was any way to set up a streaming radio station that was controllable from a remote PC. I looked at Shoutcast again to see if there was some option that I missed, but I didn't find much. Not having any luck on Google, I've decided to turn to you guys. Does anybody know of a program that'll let me set up a playlist at home and then remotely control it from school? Streaming MP3s on demand, maybe?"

    For now I'm making do with a Zaurus and a 512 Megabyte SD card -- which is still quite a bit larger than your school's entire hard drive --, and lets me carry around three Gilbert & Sullivan operas, a Sondheim compilation album, and half a dozen renditions of the (former) Soviet National Anthem and the Internationale -- and yes, my musical tastes would raise questions about my heterosexuality were it not for my terrible fashion sense.


    Damn, you beat me to the joke.
