In this case, it's where you connect to a server
like Shoutcast, and it plays MP3s from your hard drive through the server, so
that multiple people can connect to the server address and listen to the
same music. So rather than downloading the MP3s, which is asynchronous, everyone
tunes into the same MP3 plaing from the server. Think of it like an internet
radio station. I can also stream live sound, anything that I feed to the line in
of my laptop, which is how I stream my live looping performances.
