Tool for streaming your own mp3 collection

Hi,
As part of my Digital Home Project I developed a little tool which allows me to stream my own MP3 collection. I call it "My Internet Radio". Just like any Internet Radio. I made it very small so that I can take it with me on a portable hard disk. No installation required, just one executable.
Hope it can be of use to anyone.
The tool and some explanation can be found on

Nice work, although you do know there are a ton of tools out there that allow mp3 streaming.
- Apache module for mp3 streaming
- Slimserver
- MP3Locker.com (payed online storage?)
- etc etc
But i presume you wanted something else which wasn't out there and did it yourself
good job, i know i cant.

Oh, I know there are plenty of other tools. And I admit that I challenged myself to show that I'm capable of doing it.
But I also like the fact that it does not require installation. So I can use it at work where I don't have admin rights. I simply copy it on a portable hard disk together with the music files, and it works anywhere where I can plug the hard disk.
Next tool I'm working on is something to remotely control a mouse. But only the mouse, not the desktop. I would like to use it to control the mediaplayer on my HTPC from my laptop. I wonder if that exists already...
I will build it anyway

i actually have a iphone dock here at work, and i stream my music via 3g to my phone. this way i also dont use the company's proxy to stream a constant feed for say 8 hours.. you never know if they complain about it.
the apache module i believe you could easilly set that on port 443 or 80 which is open for proxy's at work and then use windows media player (which should still be installed) to listen to it.
But like you said tons of tools, and its always nice to make your own
I only have a mediacenter but it runs xbmc, and for that there is a excellent iphone app too (i can even control it from work if i want too, same goes for all my music players in different rooms)
