Before you try icecast or shoutcast or whatever,
you might like to try BL3 without add-ons.  BL3
has a built-in http server and it happily serves
audio files via port 80 (http).

To test this: take two computers (clark & lois)
and network them together.  Ping clark from lois
to make sure the connection is good.

clark
------------------------------------------
cd to directory that contains anymusic.mp3
httpd 
------------------------------------------

lois
---------------------------------
mplayer http://clark/anymusic.mp3
---------------------------------

If you wish, you can create an index.htm page (for clark)
that lists and links all the audio files in that directory.
Then on lois you can use a browser (eg links) to display 
index.htm (from clark) and automatically run mplayer when 
you click on one of the files.

Cheers,
Steven
