Obsequiem (their spelling varies)
http://obsbox.sourceforge.net/

Obs is a play list manager / jukebox system that feeds MP3's to Icecast
for streaming. 

I know that there has been work on icecast to stream ogg's
but it doesnt look like theres been much work done on obs recently.
but i cant imagine thats hard to change.

i use Obs & Icecast at home with MP3's (i have a couple of MP3 walkmen
so oggs arent terribly useful to me) and i now have almost all of my cd
collection on there, which i can listen to from any computer in the
house.

I have been trying to investigate ways to extend the music stream to
other rooms in the house that have Stereos but no computers, best
solution i can see so far is a low power FM Stereo transmitter from
Veronica. Anybody else have suggestions ?
