Streaming MP3s on Demand?

Posted by Cliff on from the be-your-own-radio dept.

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?"

    You can setup the software to stream out MP3s etc and you can use WinAMP or xmms to listen in. Set the administrative page to be viewable from the internet (with user/pass of course) and then you can control the streams from there.
