You could try KPlaylist - http://www.kplaylist.com to start with. Fairly snappy on a slower server, allows you to set up playlists, or just quicky stream/download albums to whatever machine you want to play it from.

Shout/icecast are also good, and are built from the point of view of broadcasting the same stream to multiple hosts. (Has anyone found a nice & simple web frontend to setting up and playing playlists through shoutcast?)

My final suggestion is mpd (as in apt-get install mpd) or music player daemon at http://www.musicpd.org/ -> One backend player that plays audio through the server's audio hardware, and multiple frontends to control the running playlist, from curses to pretty GTK flavours. (With the GTK frontend, gmpc, it hard not to think of it as acting like a network enabled XMMS.)

Now my dream is for a single app to pull in all these features.... oh yeah.
