Streaming Audio

I'm new to Linux and just had a brief question. I wanted to find out if Linux server software could be used to stream audio that would play on windows and mac media players?

Thanks for any input

Hope it helps =)

Shoutcast. Which has tons of resources for help out. I used it for a small internet radio stream and it was perfect. There are ways to manage your song lists and an ability to play music even if your upstream goes dead or off-air.

Another vote for shoutcast.

We've been using it for a few years now to stream our commercial broadcast radio station. With shoutcast you have two apps really. The "encoder" and the server. The first is called sc_trans_040 and the second is scserver. Set up the configuration files in both to talk to each other and you'll be streaming in no time. :)
