Have you wanted to start and online radio station. You can easily set one up using shoutcast technology.

SHOUTcast is an audio streaming solution (http://www.ecomatrix.eu/Shoutcast-hosting.html)on the internet. It permits anyone on the internet to broadcast audio from their PC to listeners across the Internet or any other IP-based network. But broadcasting too many clients often isn't possible from a home Internet connection, but this problem is easily overcome by broadcasting just one stream to a ShoutCast server hosted on a high bandwidth connection, the shoutcast server (http://www.ecomatrix.eu/Shoutcast-hosting.html) will then relay the audio to any clients connected.

Icecast was designed to be Shoutcast compatible. Unlike the commercial Shoutcast product Icecast is free (http://all-streaming-media.com/stream-broadcast/free-audio-video-stream-broadcasting-software.htm).
You can broadcast streaming MP3, OGG Vorbis and AAC using Icecast.
