I still use a program a friend wrote back at university called P-UKE (aka
Perl Jukebox). Its a perl script which provides a telnet chat and music
server. Connect with telnet, or any MUD client such as 'tf'. It can 
playback any format & to any device for which you've got a command line 
player (ie anything). There's no playlists, but when you've got the 
full power of perl regular expressions for listing & queuing tracks
who needs them ;-) Oh and it comes with an obnoxious bot too which 
does random track queuing whenever the current queue becomes empty.

Possibly not really what you're looking for though ;-)

Dan.
