No, but my roommate used to run a shoutcast server from here. It is licensed for personal use, but the license does indicate that it wouldn't be too hard to get permission for other uses. Of course, there are also the few projects at sourceforge, etc.... Any just about any current media player (xmms, M$, RealAudio, etc.) can handle MP3.... Free (or at least cheap), easy to set up, and universally listenable. That's what they could use IMnsHO....
