Musicast
Streaming an iTunes playlist over the internet, or making it into a podcast: sounds like the mad ravings of a lunatic, right? The RIAA would never allow such a thing, people becoming their own radio stations and not playing crappy pop music?!Enter Musicast, an $18.00 Universal application that opens your playlists to the world. Once you launch Musicast you see a list of your playlists (both smart and not so smart). You can pick and choose which you would like to make publicly available and that's it. Now your Mac has been transformed into a music streaming machine (though imagine an internet connection is required for this to work).
I wonder if this is breaking any silly copyright laws.

You do have to pay a royalty fee for streaming and on demand download radio service. I ran a college radio station for 3 years and we had to deal with this a lot. If you pay your royalties to sound exchange then you could use this no problem.

A user goes to http://my.ip.address:5554/, starts typing, and then they get to pick a name -- any name -- from my address book? This doesn't seem to restrict access in any way, but it does expose the contents of my Address Book to the public. Maybe I'm dense, but I don't see the point of that.
