Who's to say...? You know what they say--to assume is to make an ass out of u and me
EDIT (for clarity)
I hope that the question didn't cause offence, as that certainly wasn't the intent. The last time I played with Jinzora (v1.n), the install procedure wasn't exactly painless. Having grabbed the latest 'stable' version and sticking it on a testing machine, it's still not brilliant.
Other things like the installer (ergo apache) needing write access to the DocumentRoot during installation and, depending on how you set up Jinzora, while running too. That sort of thing should worry you a little. It's less of a deal if you're just streaming over a LAN, but linuxhippy already announced intentions to expose this net-ward. So if you want to be careful about it, there's some config file mangling to be done.
Does having a (relatively) high post count automatically mean you have workable knowledge on the behaviour of apache, php and mysql? Well, yeah, probably. But I thought I'd ask.
That ended up being slightly longer-winded than I intended!

I know very little about streaming audio from my own pc and when I called Verizon DSL they were at a loss and said I might check downloads.com. Unhelpful.
I didn't know I needed apache for this, but it is installed. I was able to get no-ip running and I see it's a running process. Is there a streaming program that makes configuration easier? I saw one for Win that costs $40 on another site...it said all you did was right click on the mp3 to stream out. Icecast and jinzora are too involved to setup on this slow pc.

I'm trying to get gnump3 setup. It seems to be working (cannot figure out the address to log on from another pc...it must be an address from no-ip.com???). If I cannot get this working, I'll try shoutcast. There are many mp3 streaming programs available I'm finding. Do I need to get apache setup to use these to stream audio?
For gnump3, no, you do not need apache. I am currently using it, and like it very much. It's fast, simple, small, and with a few nice features (basic authentication, tags, search).
Check, maybe dyndns.org offers dynamic ip client for linux (there are some for windows) which automatically connects to dyndns and updates the information, when your ip changes. Off course, if your ip does not change very often you can do it manually.
Yes, it's true. I am working with dyndns.com and with ddclient(.tar.gz). With some tweaking to the well documented /etc/ddclient.conf you are off to the net.

Got it working
I tried some tweaking of my router (it has a Shoutcast setting which is set up for ports 8000-8005) and changed the port in gnump3d to port 8001. Then I disabled my no-ip program and just used my current IP address. I went to a pc outside my network, opened up firefox and typed:
I was very pleased to see a web page that GNUmp3 made and I am now streaming....for today! I now need to figure out the write permissions in no-ip...or run no-ip as root. Is that safe?
