Welcome to the forum!

The idea is good. However, as Berto states... the upload capacity is not sufficient for some potential users. I personally do not want to listen to an mp3 stream off of a user with 56k. Nor would I want to listen to a mp3 stream with 56k (although I do have extreme DSL broadband).

Perhaps, the streaming component to check to see if the user has the upload ratios to handle this before allowing them to stream. Otherwise, just display the song they are listening to locally, possibly have it connect to a database of links somewhere, so people can DL it or buy the cd.
