MP3 Jukebox - Not in the regular sense

I am attempting to create a jukebox of sorts, but am a bit lost. I see there are scads of streaming mp3 servers, which isn't really what I want. I want to perhaps create a web interface, or vb app that will connect to a server, and the server natively plays the music (in my case, it is a networked server hooked up to a big 'ol stereo).

Sharing violations are one problem. I know that this is a perfect candidate for a linux app, but I am trying to do this win windows. Let me know if anyone has ever attempted this, and perhaps can point me in a direction of where to start looking for information. Thanks again!
