For streaming/receiving multicast MP3 audio, you can try
        - liveCaster <http://www.live.com/liveCaster/>
        - playRTPMPEG <http://www.live.com/multikit/playRTPMPEG.html>
                (can also receive MPEG *video*)
        - the "in_rtp.dll" plugin for Winamp:
                http://www.live.com/multikit/winamp-plugin.html

If you don't mind building from source code, there are also the 'test 
programs' distributed with the LIVE.COM Streaming Media distribution: 
<http://www.live.com/liveMedia/>.  These include tools for 
streaming/receiving MPEG-1 or 2 video/audio via multicast.
