ACK! :]

If you want to collect some analogue source that's the way to go. (With some
effort it should even support changing tags while using the dsp-input)

If you want to do everything using PCs you maybe want to check out Oddsock's
plug-ins for Winamp, XMMS, foobar, etc. (clicky here: www.oddsock.org)
This will enable you to stream directly from your favourite(tm) player including
automatic tag support. Fancy mixing etc will be something to be done by this
application. AFAIK such plug-ins for most of the mentioned players are
available.
