Apologies if this is old for you

Streamer is an internet radio program that allows anyone to broadcast
streaming mp3 music, to an unlimited number of listeners, from an
internet connection as humble as a 56k modem, and with the broadcasting
pc being fairly untraceable.

It works by relaying the mp3 data stream from one listener to the next,
forming a branching tree with the broadcasting pc at the base. This is
different to the normal method where all the listeners connect to a
central server, and it means you don't need lots of server bandwidth.
There is also no limit to the number of listeners, since each new one
provides more relay bandwidth to the network.
