    MP3 Sushi?

    MP3 Sushi has been doing this for a long time (in X years), and it works well. Either a streaming radio of a folder of music, or a jukebox to choose from/make playlists. All web-enabled with hardly any config. DId I mention it was free?

    What about the RIAA?

    Won't they get mad at Apple since now iTunes music can be streamed anywhere in the world? Listeners could really be caching the stream and recreating the songs! While it would best if they go after Rogue Amoeba instead of Apple, the record industry would probably blame Apple anyway. :-(

    but this can do AACs

    Since NiceCast "hijacks" the audio output from the chosen application, rather than playing/streaming any actual audio files, this is the only program around that can stream AACs.

    Now to try to get it to work with TiVo's Home Media Option...

    They could go to shoutcast.com and find a lot more servers to go after first.
