You cannot do this, without a public ipv4 address. One thing that you have to keep in mind, is that once public IP-addresses have run out, you will be put behind a NAT of the ISP for your ipv4-to-ipv4 traffic. Do not expect that these "CGN" (Carrier Grade Nat) services will offer port-forwarding. The only way you can then have ipv4 peer-to-peer connectivity will be via some kind of relay. OK, you can get a connection via a VPN-service somewhere, but this actually is pretty much the same thing as "buying a public ipv4 address". Or you can get yourself a "business" subscription at your ISP -which includes a fixed ipv4-address- but do not complain if you need to pay (say) 20 euro a month extra for that. Why would you get throu all this problem is you can just move to ipv6 and have full any-to-any connectivity between any device on the planet? - between your phone/tablet and your SB - between your SB and a shoutcast server operated by somebody on her private LAN-network at home - between your SB and the NAS of a friend on his home-LAN - between your SB and somebody elses in a peer-to-peer broadcasting network. - to receive ipv6 multicast stations (RP-embedded ipv6 multicast addressing allows ANY ipv6 router to act RP for a multicast-stream so everybody is able to start a radio-station using ipv6 multicast). If you just use your SB to listen to an internet-radio station of some large media-concern, ipv4 and nat and nat-after-nat will do just fine. But if you want to go beyond that, ipv6 is an opportunity which allows for all kind of new and decentralised services. Learn to use it and image what you can do with it. Cheerio! Kr.
