Music streaming application.

Hey guys I am running an image board on my web server. One of the boards include music. My goal is to find a CLI or GUI application that can stream a folder over the web. Also, new content is posted daily so I want the folder to be re-indexed every so often. There is one obvious path I could go with this and that is Shoutcast. Shoutcast is nice but consider the fact that it only allows the streaming of playlists and I don't really want to use shoutcast either. Is there an application any one knows of that can accomplish this goal? I don't need anything special as long as it gets the job done well. I have seen something in the AUR called Soma but I have not messed with the scripts much yet. I thought I would get feedback from the community first before I go ahead and install Soma. Let me know which application you guys  use or recommend. Thanks

MPD has http streaming in it's latest release IIRC.

No particular recommendation, but I'd be careful with Soma - it seems to be dead. Latest official release is April 2007, and latest dev snapshot is October the same year.

Re: Music streaming application.

It is pretty easy to recreate a mpd /  shoutcast playlist from a cron job
e.g.

for v in *; do echo $(pwd)\/$v; done > /var/lib/mpd/playlists/default.m3u
