There's an app called "PlaylistBroadcaster" for OS X Server which does some extremely cool media streaming using text files you set up as "playlists". It allows the user to setup lists of streaming media (including mp3) which randomly shuffle -- but the neat thing is that you can assign "weights" to the individual media listings depending on how much you like a particular piece. You can also specify how long it will be until a piece repeats, and you can recursively reference other playlists inside of a larger playlist.
Apple includes it with the standard OS X Server distribution, and considering how well it works, I'm surprised more people don't know about it.
